The Efficiency Is Everything Cookbook [pdf]
Some notes- At base, the recipes eat for ~21$/week/person. After I lost my job, I definitely got below 20$/week, less protein, more rice.<p>I have seen HN dispute 19k/yr living, so I also wanted to share with HN, the 3 things that allowed 2 people to live on $19,000/year. We lived like this for 3 years as my wife got her Doctorate.<p>>Health Insurance- Don't pick the wrong one. Too often I hear people choosing 'a good plan', but the reality is, the Payments(preimums) + Max Out Of Pocket exceed the cost of a Bronze plan.<p>>Used cars are better than new. Nothing quite like not caring if your car gets a ding. Nothing quite like not having a car payment.<p>>Stop eating out, the 6$ meal is 6x the cost of the meals in the cookbook. Doing a Calorie Per Dollar comparison is a wakeup call for value.<p>Thought this is useful for everyone. I'm planning to study another round of Calorie, Protein, and Nutrient Per Dollar data. Any requests?
