This is a place to share ways to eat inexpensively - whether that’s with recipes, finding coupons, or preservation techniques like freezing or pickling.

PLEASE NOTE: What is considered “healthy” or “cheap”? This will differ for every person. Please take this into consideration when reading and commenting.

All nutrition suggestions/advice should be taken with a grain of salt, as it’s best to consult with a medical professional and/or reflect on your own personal eating habits and budget prior to taking advice from friendly strangers on the internet.

Diet- or budget-shaming will not be tolerated. Some people may prefer organic food, others may have food intolerances, some may be vegan, vegetarian, or keto.

Bottom line: be kind, considerate, and aware of advice from strangers on the internet.

Thank you!
