Look, we all know the real reason the Beetlejuice musical added all those extra rules for summoning the title character is because can you seriously imagine a Broadway musical where nobody is allowed to say the name of the production?
(For everybody name-dropping the Scottish Play in the notes, bear in mind that while performing it is the only situation where you are allowed to say its name; the scenario I am describing is the exact opposite of that.)

Broke af?
But still interested in feeding yourself? What if I told you that there’s a person with a blog who had to feed both themselves and their young son…on 10 British pounds ($15/14 Euro) per week?
Let me tell you a thing.
This individual (Jack Monroe, who has come out as nonbinary) saved my life last year. Actually saved my life. I had a piggy bank full of change and that’s it. Many people in my fandom might remember that dark time as when I had to hock my writing skills in exchange for donations. I cried a lot then.
This is real talk, people: I marked down exactly what I needed to buy, totaled it, counted out that exact change, and then went to three different stores to buy what I needed so I didn’t have to dump a load of change on just one person. I was already embarrassed, but to feel people staring? Utter shame suffused me. The reasons behind that are another post all together.
Cookingonabootstrap.com is run by a British person who was on benefits for years. Things got desperate. They had to find a way to feed themselves and their son using just the basics that could be found at the supermarket. But the recipes they came up with are amazing.
You have to consider the differing costs of things between countries, but if you just have three ingredients in your cupboard, Jack Monroe will tell you what to do with it. Check what you already have. Chances are you have the basics of a filling meal already.
Here’s their list of kitchen basics. Click the bold text for links!
Bake your own bread. It’s easier than you think. Here’s a list of many recipes, each using some variation of just plain flour, yeast, some oil, maybe water or lemon juice. And kneading bread is therapeutic.
They have vegan recipes. Including a chocolate/beetroot cake. YUM.
A carrot, a can of kidney beans, and some cumin will get you a really filling soup…or throw in some flour for binding and you’ve got yourself a burger.
Don’t have an oven or the stove isn’t available? They cover that in their Microwave Cooking section.
/links
They have a book, but many recipes can be found on their blog for free. They price their recipes down to the cent, and every year they participate in a project called “Living Below the Line” where they have to live on 1 BP per day of food for five days.
Things improved for me a little, but her website is my go to. I learned how to bake bread (using my crockpot, but that was my own twist), and I have a little cart full of things that saved me back then, just in case I need them again. Jack Monroe gives you the tools to feed yourself, for very little money, and that’s a fabulous feeling.
Tip: Whenever you have a little extra money, buy a 10 dollar/pound/euro giftcard from your discount grocer. Stash it. That’s your super emergency money. Make sure they don’t charge by the month for lack of use, though.
I don’t care if it sounds like an advertisement–you won’t be buying anything from the site. What I DO care about is your mental, emotional, and physical health–and dammit, food’s right in the center of that.
If you don’t need this now, pass it on to someone who does. Pass it on anyway, because do you REALLY know which of the people in your life is in need? Which follower might be staring at their own piggy bank? Trust me: someone out there needs to see this.
Edit November 2016: I updated the post a long time ago to reflect Jack’s gender identity, but now I’ve fixed the links too.
PASS THIS ON, PEOPLE. 250k notes means that there is a real need out there, and this could save someone’s life. Even if you’ve reblogged before, do it again so that the new links are circulated.
Thanks, ya’ll.
YMMV on this since some recipes may require too much physical work or not be diet-friendly—but since many of us struggle to get by, this is an incredible important resource.

WHY EATING SEASONALLY IS IMPORTANT
•save money - food is at it’s highest supply
•food is better - it is grown closer to home so less likely to rot
•support local, sustainable farmers
•more environmentally friendly

Dudes even if you just REDUCE your meat, dairy, and egg intake, you will help the environment.
I’m not saying everyone has to go vegan or else fuck you. We need to save the planet and this isn’t sustainable, but I know not everyone finds it doable. Or wants to.
Start with meatless Mondays, and maybe make it your goal to only eat meat one or two days a week? Switch to nondairy butter spread? Use applesauce instead of eggs while baking? Use almond milk in some things, like baked goods? Whatever you want, but if we all reduce our consumption, that’s how changes will be made.
