Keep column reference static

[RodneyA]

I'm using this code on a cell in a separate tab:

='Sammich Ham'!$H$3

Each month I add a new column between G and H moving the previous months data from H to I making room for the new months data in column H. Adding this new column changes the formula from
='Sammich Ham'!$H$3 to ='Sammich Ham'!$I$3 How can I make it so it will always stay as H

Thanks in advance
