Cheap & Healthy: The College Way

You could check to see if there's a farmer's market nearby. Buying from there is usually much cheaper than the supermarket.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll look into the farmers market since you can eat most of that stuff plain without cooking it anyway... which I'm sure is healthier.

Alright then, a good suggestion along those lines is the vegetarian stir-fry. Get some chopped veggies (and meat if you have the money) into the pan. Add some sauce (soy, teriyaki, louisiana, anything goes really). Cook on medium until veggies are soft/meat cooked. Cook up some rice to go along with the stir-fry.

That is relatively cheap depending where you shop and healthy.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's an apple farm near you . . . You could make applesauce.

Core and peel the apples. Slice them into quarters. Put the apples into a pot of water and boil. Once at boiling, bring it down to medium. Keep it that way untilt the apples are very soft. Drain the water off. Mash apples. Put some sugar in for taste if you want.

How ya doing, buddy?
