Monetizing Thrift
You might remember that back in 2007, a couple of Democratic congressfolks tried to “survive” on $1/day so as to better understand the eating habits of the underprivileged. It was kind of a silly experiment, but led to some memorable blog posts – see for example here.
Well, a couple of enterprising Americans have come up with pretty thorough, healthy meal plans that come close to meeting that standard – and are making money off of it. Cook for Good is the more prominent of the two, but the Manhattan-based Three Dollar Dinner (written by a producer of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) seems to be coming on strong.

The Three Dollar Dinner Cookbook is six dollars. That’s two dinners right there.

But it pays for itself!
