"If you’ve done any camping anytime in the past, you know that one of the most frustrating things when it comes to packing up is stuffing your sleeping bag into its sack. Actually, getting all of your gear back into its original stuff sack is a real challenge. It’s like trying to stuff a container of Grand's biscuits back into the little tin. It just ain’t gonna happen.

All I know is that whether we’re talking about tents, hammocks, tarps, or mosquito netting, it always feels like the stuff sack the gear is supposed to go into is always just slightly too small for the task at hand."

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.

This 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!
