Tip #1: Get the most for your money

Does this situation sound familiar?: Your stomach is grumbling louder than the sound of a train passing by and your last few dollars have to stretch as much as an elastic rubber band to get you through the week. I feel like this situation is my life. The good news is, I‘ve recently found out there’s no need to sacrifice hunger for money.

In the past week and a half, I’ve come across crucial tools to assist with meal ideas. All of which I’ll be sure to share in the days to follow.

The first tool I’ve encountered that is worthy to mention has to do with time being of the essence. It’s also important to have at least $10. If these two factors pertain to you, you can check out the ten places listed on walletpop.com for a satisfying meal costing less than $10. There is really something for everyone on the list. Checking with this list will bring food to your table, and leave money still in your pocket!

Back to Basics

As a college student, I’m still trying to figure out the basics.  As exciting as it is to be away from home I didn’t realize all the simple things I’d have to do—like actually COOK dinner.

What a simple solution it is to just eat a frozen dinner. But that solution can get a little boring. I figured it’s time to throw down the flimsy napkin I use while eating the frozen dinner and put on the apron.

When trying to prepare and cook something new, it's important to remember that when your sauce blows up in the microwave or you’ve spilled your last sip of milk, there’s no need to cry over it. 

This blog will be here to provide advice on how to make yourself a satisfying dish, as well as provide links to other recipes. But what I hope most is to hear of YOUR meal suggestions. All of these things will get you through another night...with food on the table and best of all, with money still in your pocket.
