$55 for 3 Weeks of Good Food

So, my friends and I finally got tired of eating cafeteria food and then being hungry again in 30 minutes. So, we came up with a plan that I will share with you! First thing is first is you will need at least a slow cooker for these recipes!

So there are 3 of us and we are splitting the bill. Each of us is paying only $55 for 3 weeks work of food! As we find more recipes I will add them here!

Firstly, the thing that we found was most helpful was to buy and assemble all of the food at home. Then, we froze it and transported it back to school. We have a limited amount of space and resources at school, so making it at home was so much easier.

I am not sure about everyone else, but we are not allowed to have anything that has an exposed heating element. Therefore, we cannot have: toasters, toaster ovens, small ovens, and all kinds of other things. We we can have a slow cooker, hot plates, and electric skillets. I tried to have as many of the recipes as possible have similar ingredients so that we could buy in bulk. As much of the food as possible came from Sam's Club. The rest we bought as many grocery store brand food items as possible and we bought meat in bulk. Furthermore, we ate as much of the food as possible, so we had plenty of leftover days! So on to the recipes! None of these recipes were mine, but I found it almost impossible to find food grouped in a way that I would not have to look through hundreds to find "college food."
