More Exciting News! 

There will soon be a new page heading titled “Recipes” which feature healthy and affordable recipes for the typical 20-something university student like myself. Not only are these recipes cheap, but they are also perfect for frugal people who don’t want to spend their hard-earned money on pricey pre-packaged food from the store located ever-so-conveniently on every corner in a city near you.

My husband and I are on a mission to save $$$ while attending school despite our inevitable expenses. We are interested in purchasing a house in a larger city, where I will be studying accelerated nursing in January 2018. That being said, I was recently inspired by blogger Frugalwoods to cut down on spending to an even greater extent. This morning I woke up with an idea: adopt a new muffin recipe using only the ingredients I had in my pantry without following any particular grocery list. You would be surprised what a simple challenge like “No Spending Month” (as of today) can do to jumpstart your creativity. More on this topic in a future blog post.
