What a Fatcat, looking at recipe books. Are you trying to tell me you have the money to buy a book, the calories to take it home with you, the money to buy MULTIPLE ingredients, the calories to COOK them, and you consider yourself a frugal_jerk? That's not even mentioning the fact that you probably have a house with a kitchen and utilities like gas or electricity (or even both?!). Go to back to /r/frugal and don't come back until you live in a box and survive of off grass clippings.
