Living Frugally - Good Eats

Here at RedSprouts, we're all about studying hard and making ground on your future career. But while you're doing all that you got to make sure that you're eating healthy. More importantly though, you're a college student on a budget so you got get good eats on the cheap. As you might have guessed, the best way to get good eats on the cheap is cooking a meal yourself. Now this may seem like a foreign idea to many of you, but cooking at home is actually quite simple and you will save loads of money. Not enough time you say? Some meals only take 30 minutes to make and you can have enough leftovers for a couple days that you can easily heat back up in minutes.

One of my favorite dishes to make due to its ease is the Simple Pasta Dish. Boil water with some salt and throw in your preference of pasta. While that is going on slice up carrots, celery, and onions to brown in a skillet. Add browned ground beef and tomato sauce and you got yourself a great simple sauce. Put it all together and you have yourself a cheap meal and depending on your portions a day or two of leftovers. In terms of cost, your meal will only cost you 2 to 3 dollars a day compared to eating a 10 dollar pasta dish at a decent restaurant. Now I've only been cooking for a couple years and so far I've felt satisfied with what I've come up with. But if you readers have any suggestion I would love to see it in the comments.
