Eating Better on a Budget
Our free
outreach program for the community at large,
Eat Better on a Budget, is a series of
classes that set you up for successful
nutrient-rich, low-cost cooking practices, taught
by Cooking coordinator Jill Dodge, and Outreach
coordinator Jodie Buller.
We host these classes in Co-op Room 309, and encourage groups of friends and neighbors to attend together, to help build food community.
We begin with At the Store – a practicum and shopping tour full of smart shopping tips on sourcing regionally, seasonally, sustainably, and inexpensively! We cover shopping the bulk section, proper storage, how to find great deals, and help you expand your repertoire of nutrient-dense grains, greens, and proteins.
We’ll send you home with a shopping list template, recipe ideas, and lots of information about how to stretch your grocery dollars to feed your family and friends exciting and nourishing meals.

The second
part of our intro to Eating Better on a
Budget,
In the Kitchen, will walk you through
great ideas for food preparation, storage, and
kitchen set up. We’ll talk through meal plans and
creative use of leftovers, and prepare a dish in
class that demonstrates what’s possible with a
little forethought and organization.
Again, we’ll send you home with handouts on storage and recipe ideas that utilize nutrient-rich foods, and how to make the most of them.
Our hand-on educational Cooking Basics series is a great refresher for even the most expert chefs amongst us, but perfect for people who’d like to expand their skills with foods that are new to them. These classes feature cooking demonstrations and recipe tasting, so bring your appetite!
