As students, we often struggle with the dilemma of going out. Yes, the food is much better than we could ever cook on our own, but it’s also much more expensive. Fortunately, there are restaurants out there that will keep your tummy and your wallet happy - here are just a few of them!
• Steak ‘N Shake. With at least 17 meal options for under $4, you’ve got plenty to choose from that won’t break the bank. Also, they’re always putting out sheets of coupons that you can snag from an email or the newspaper, so you can make these great deals even better.
• IHOP. These pancake people have several cheaper options to provide you with all your breakfast-y needs. Not only that, but they also offer a student discount, so long as you show them your ID. This saves you an extra 10% off your bill, making your meal that much tastier.
• Dairy Queen. You may have some trouble finding these nowadays, but if you do, you’re in for a thrifty treat. They have a $5 lunch menu where you can choose from a chicken wrap, chicken tenders, a chili cheese dog or a burger. These come with fries, a drink and your choice of dessert!
Be sure to check what sort of deals your local restaurants offer as well - you never know what kind of bargains you might find!

A thrifty haul & how to style
I found this on Instagram. I need to see that quiz
Yesterday I made a skirt out of an old pair of jeans! It is high waisted, has a zipper in the back, and flares out in a boxy shape at the bottom. I’m really proud of myself for coming up with the idea and being able to make it without any online help.
If you want to know how I made it, let me know!

I bought these boots in black a couple months ago and wore them so much that I ordered them in camel last week. (Sadly, they are now out of stock in black.) I love them both so much! I ordered the black in a 7.5 and they were a little snug, so I ordered the camel ones in a size 8. I can wear both comfortably but I recommend going a half size up if you aren’t sure which size would be best for you.
Right now, these boots are $42.50. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Even though they look exactly like Timberlands and are less than ¼ of the price, you can get them for cheaper. Charlotte Russe is an amazing website that has daily deals, which if used properly can cut your prices in half. I bought the black boots on clearance for only $22.50 and I bought the camel ones for $25 with free shipping. I recommend signing up at Charlotte Russe as a member so that you’ll receive email updates of their daily deals. This way you’ll be able to get these knockoff Timberlands for a steal like I did.

Actual Timberlands cost $180 and are way less cute:

Any questions about the product?
humorous find, but who on earth would buy this used???
I accidentally found my next cosplay while I was thrifting today.
(Yes, I had a mask. I took it off, snapped the picture, and put it back on.)

Happy Birthday from the hamburger horror clown.
I know some find offal off-putting, and I wouldn’t have Devilled Kidneys orLiver every day either; but they are lean, cheap and very nutritious. You won’t find a better source of iron! And when simply and well-cooked, they can be very tasty, too. Like these Green Onion Pork Kidneys.Happy Thursday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large Green Onion
- 2 (135-gram/5-ounce) pork kidneys (prepared by your butcher)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a medium frying pan, melt butter over a medium flame.
Finely chop Green Onion, and once the butteris just foaming, add chopped white part of the Green Onion to the pan. Cook, a couple of minutes, until softened. Reserve chopped green part of the Green Onion part for serving.
Increase heat to medium-high. Pat pork kidneys dry, and lay them flat onto the pan. Cook, about 4 minutes, then the will close up. Cook on each side until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Season both sides well with saltandblack pepper. The fleshshoud still be blushing inside.
ServeGreen Onion Pork Kidneys hot, sprinkled with chopped green part of the Green Onion . They pair well with a side of fluffy brown orwhite rice and warm Applesauce. If you want a glass a wine with them, a robust red like an Australian (Braossa Valley) Shiraz or a French Saint-Chinian, is excellent!
