I used to think dried beans were a waste of time, but my roommate's $12 chili for a whole week proved me wrong.

I finally tried it after seeing her total for a giant pot, and now I realize I was paying way too much for canned stuff all along, so what other cheap staples have I been sleeping on?

Ever try making your own bread? It's way cheaper and easier than I thought. I was the same with beans, but a bag of flour lasts forever.

Honestly thought it would be a huge hassle, but my first loaf proved me wrong.

My first loaf came out looking like a sad brick but it tasted amazing so I didn't even care. Then I got obsessed and tried sourdough starter and ended up with this goopy mess that smelled like gym socks for a week before it finally worked. Now I'm the person who brings homemade bread to every potluck like it's my whole personality or something.
