We can avoid being the victim of certain types of violence by using common sense. But the uptick in increasingly random violence is different...and much
more difficult to prevent. And it's not just a big city problem.
Have you seen an uptick in violence in your area? In drug addiction and correlating behavior? Is it random? If
so, what are you doing to remain safe and to keep your family safe? What advice would you give to a person who attends college or work in a risky area to help them stay safe during their commute?
Whether you’re dumpster-diving-for-food poor, have an incredibly limited grocery budget, or have a garden variety thrifty grocery budget, you’ll find some ideas that work for you. Most of the suggestions also consider that someone with a tight budget probably spends a lot of time working and can’t always deliver every single bite from lengthy scratch-cooking processes.
What to Eat When You're Broke can’t really be called a
cookbook as much as it is a "hodgepodge of thrifty ideas about food." You can substitute ingredients in just about every recipe based on what you have on hand. The flexibility is what helps to make it so frugal. The foods you’ll make are truly YOUR meals, based on what you have, what you’ll eat, and what you can afford.
Saving money in the kitchen doesn’t have to be dull and depressing. These frugal ideas, paired with the right attitude (and a sense of humor), will level up your menu!
We’re past the equinox, which means spring is officially here! And for some of us, this signals the beginning of the growing season. For those of us in zones 5 and above, it’s not quite time to put plants in the ground yet. But there are still plenty of tasks to prep your garden for this year’s growing season.
