Cheap and Easy Meals for College Students
This is such an expensive time for you and your family. One way you can help cut back on costs is to think outside of the menu when it comes to eating. In other words, you don’t have to waste precious money on restaurant tabs when you can whip up something to eat in your dorm or apartment for most days. Find the nearest grocery store and pick up the following:
1. Pasta with Sauce, Mac … Cheese, Ramen Noodles. Everybody love carbs, right? Let’s face it, you’re walking a lot more than you used to and you can probably use the energy anyway. These handy meals are easy to microwave and will warm you up on a cold day. With plenty of options in packaged ramen noodles, you could probably choose a different flavor every day and not get bored. Add some fruit and a little salad and you’ve got your nutritional bases covered.
2. Cereal anyone? Not just for breakfast anymore, the cereal aisle in your local supermarket will provide plenty of tasty choices for lunch and dinner, too. Be generous with the milk and refill as desired. Don’t forget that waffles and eggs make good meals, too.
3. Dust off your peanut butter and jelly cravings from childhood. Remember how tasty they used to be? They still are! Get creative, add marshmallow or a banana and experiment with different types of bread or bagels. When you’re tired of that, reach for bologna, turkey, ham, even hot dogs. Sandwiches are a fraction of the cost of an entre at a restaurant and you can eat them as you walk to class.
4. Gone are the days of ordering giant pizzas. You can, however, pluck a few from the freezer section at the store and cook them in your apartment instead. They’re hotter when they reach your mouth and you don’t have to tip anyon0l. A little parmesan or Romano cheese can make all the difference.
There will be plenty of time in your life for five-star restaurants and elaborate kitchen tangos. This is your time to work hard, play hard and be able to afford it all without going too deeply into debt. It’s not a bad idea to add a multivitamin to your daily menu to help make up for nutrients that you might not be getting regularly. Bon appetite!
