  1. # The frugal repo.
  2. ## DIY recipes and frugal living
  3. In behavioral science, frugality has been defined as the tendency to acquire goods and services in a restrained manner, and resourceful use of already owned economic goods and services, to achieve a longer term goal.
  4. In other words..."use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without"
  5. this is a collaboration of recipes from Lainchan.org /DIY, expanded to include a primer on frugal living. contributions should be in plaintext format.
  6. PDF accepted when necessary.
  7. ### General Guidelines:
  8. - Bread recipes should be in bakers ratios or percentages
  9. - Keep things in metric when possible.
  10. - If it feels like something you'd find Guy Fieri or Paula Deen trying to cook or eat, try to avoid it.
  11. - Avoid recipes that are over-reliant on prepared items. this is DIY, not Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa Cake...
  12. - no links to specific products.
  13. ### why a GIT?
  14. Most websites on this topic are clickbait masquerading as a legitimate ideas for frugal living.
  15. Pay close attention, the first thing most of these blogs/vlogs/sockpuppet theatre articles do is attempt to provide you with a product or service
  16. you can click on to order. Buying things != frugal living.
  17. GIT does not support sexy marketing tie-ins or branding, so its much easier to quickly convey the form and function of frugality.
  18. ### some of this seems time consuming and inefficient.
  19. The goal of this repository is not to make an economic build/buy argument, but to sidestep the predatory and increasingly harmful culture of consumerism driven by large multinational corporations.
  20. ### TO DO:
  21. better explanation of some recipes and how to cook them.
