I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.
I love this cookbook!
Tips and tricks on how to survive being working class.
I’ve seen this kind of thing before and a lot of them are full of random weird shit you’d never make…because of time constraints or like, it just sounds super gross.
But this one had a whole section that’s just “Things on Toast”. Another that was all about putting crap in your oatmeal to make it better. Those are fairly pedestrian and don’t take forever.
I haven’t looked through the whole thing yet but so far it’s actually pretty practical. Also if you’re broke like me and don’t know how to make Dal, you should get on that.
I also liked that there’s this at the beginning:
This book isn’t challenging you to live on so little; it’s a resource in case that’s your reality. In May 2014, there were 46 million Americans on food stamps. Untold millions more—in particular, retirees and students—live under similar constraints.
Been there. Done that. Advice on this art is always welcome.
The link above seems to be broken; here’s one that still works.
The Good And Cheap cookbook is 100% free as a PDF download from the author’s website and is available in English and Spanish. It is practical, tasty, easy, and kind. Physical copies are one of my top “so you have your own place now” gifts. Highly recommend.
(note that the PDF is oriented the same as the physical book - two square pages - so it’s more landscape format and might be difficult to read on a phone)
well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue you should’ve raised a baby girl I should have been a better son if you could coddle the infection they can amputate at once you should’ve been I could have been a better son And when we go don’t blame us we let the fires just bathe us yeah you made us oh so famous we’ll never let you go she said you ain’t no son of mine for what you’ve done they’re gonna find a place for you and just you mind your manners when you go and when you go don’t return to me my love that’s right…
reblogging this again because it SHOULD cost money we SHOULD be pouring tax dollars into it and sending letters should be FREE and packages should be LOW COST and FAST because we SUBSIDIZE with community money.
I swear to God there’s a whole swath of people in the US who will not REST until we’re all charged by the minute for the water we drink, the air we breathe, and every blink we take.
Stop coming for the USPS. Not only is it self-funded as mentioned above, but “it’s not profitable” should NEVER be an argument against services that support basic needs. We should be working toward making things like public transit, healthcare, utilities, etc. entirely free-to-use via government funding, not arguing to whittle things down for not being Amazon-esque-enough.
promise me you’ll stay on this site for 10 more years okay? ALT
