I really liked to cook before I came to NRC. Do you have any recipes that would be good on a budget? Crowley cut the funding again and I'm starting to get a little tired of the Ramen :(

For some easy generally affordable dishes I'd say things like sloppy joes, casseroles (especially ones with tater tot or instant rice bases) , leftovers soup (save up leftover veg and meat from other dishes and throw them in a pot or slowcooker if you have one), tuna melts, buttered noodles or other pastas, Goulash, loaded grits, and things like mug cakes/ Brownies and good for a treat.

And some advice is look for what is in season, as its often more affordable, shop for clearance (especially with produce), shop bulk bins if you can, because it's more sustainable and have more control over how much you buy and therefore can get just what you need, and often is cheaper, look in papers and online for coupons you and clip, and look for substitutions if a ingredient has a shortage (ie The liquid from canned chickpeas for eggs (chickpeas are also an excellent, affordable protein) when baking), and look for gardens stands and split bulk goods (for example at a garden stand I have that recently they had flats of cucumbers or strawberries for less than 10 bucks, which is a steal to split or for preserving if you have the space

(Ooc: checkout ysac for funny videos that do actually help with recipes and cooking and there's a lot that can help on a budget)
