This is a place to share ways to eat inexpensively - whether that's with recipes, finding coupons, or preservation techniques like freezing or pickling.

PLEASE NOTE: What is considered "healthy" or "cheap"? This will differ for every person. Please take this into consideration when reading and commenting.

All nutrition suggestions/advice should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's best to consult with a medical professional and/or reflect on your own personal eating habits and budget prior to taking advice from friendly strangers on the internet.

Diet- or budget-shaming will not be tolerated. Some people may prefer organic food, others may have food intolerances, some may be vegan, vegetarian, or keto.

Bottom line: be kind, considerate, and aware of advice from strangers on the internet.

Thank you!

Sourdough starter? (self.cheaphealthyfood)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Raindrop to c/cheaphealthyfood
 

I make all our bread from scratch - regular loaves, rolls, buns, pitas, tortillas, dough, etc.

I really want to try sourdough, but I have no idea where to get it. I have two friends with starters, but they live across the country. Do I just go to a bakery and buy it? It feels like a secret society lol.

Please help with my entrance into the secret sourdough society!

I can't find the specific episode (probably because they eventually re-run everything on YouTube, so it's hard to guess the seasons), but America's Test Kitchen recently did a thorough spot on sourdough starters. The closest I can find is recipes on their website, which probably served as the "source material" for the aired segment. While I don't have much personal experience, the "master plan" and "myths" articles both look solid and don't require a subscription.
