Survival Cooking and Shopping: A Beans and Cents Field Guide

Is the grocery store far away? Is the budget tight? Do you ever stand in the aisle wondering what to buy that will actually feed everyone?

This is a free guide for exactly that. It’s a short list of 10 staples that keep a family fed, what each one is good for, and why it earns its place in your cart. Buy these first. Everything else is a bonus.

What’s inside:

• The 10 staples, with what to do with each one, from dried beans and rice to oats, eggs, potatoes, and more
• A week of meals where every dinner builds on the last: cook once, eat twice
• Little tricks that stretch what you have, like saving the bean cooking liquid and cooking extra rice on purpose
• Simple, honest guidance for eating well, wasting nothing, and spending less

It’s free, because nothing that helps you eat should be behind a paywall. Download it, print it, stick it on the fridge, and share it with anyone who needs it.

This is Field Guide No. 1 in the Beans & Cents Field Guides, and more are on the way.

With gratitude,
