Cheap Eats
Cheap Eats is a weblog devoted to inexpensive food. The site features recipes, reviews, tips and more. Cheap Eats recipes include cost, instructions, and numerical ratings, as well as witty evaluations of the end product. A recent entry described attempts to make homemade Gatorade. The recipe produced two liters of the stuff for only eighteen cents. The reviewer gave the homemade Gatorade three points out of ten. More successful recipes include:
- Home fried potatoes (8/10)
- Frito pie (8/10 — “I am pretty damn impressed with Frito Pie. I think I’ll do this every Easter.”)
- Ghetto pizza (9/10 — “For me Ghetto Pizza ranks right up there with the best Cheap Eats for people living at home…it is extremely cheap and uses readily available ingredients.”)
Cheap Eats also has restaurant reviews. It has food tips. It discusses using leftovers for lunch. The Cheap Eats hall-of-shame features such atrocities as the world’s most expensive sandwich. There’s an entire section of recipes under $3.

Home fries have too much fat. Cut up the potatoes and cook them (covered/vented) in the microwave then put tomato sauce (not ketchup) on them. Almost as good and a lot healthier.
Don’t eat potato chips or corn chips. Substitute popcorn yourself and save money and your health, you can put on less oil and salt than the chips have.
Whenever you find yourself eating unhealty or expensive prepared food try to think of a healthier home made version.
