I am so cheap I make my own half and half.
Heaving whipping cream by law is at least 36% milkfat
Half and half can range between 10% and 18% so just mixing your own can be better and far cheaper.

I just bought a buttermilk culture to make my own. It's pretty much the same as yogurt unless you stir it up to make it thin. Yogurt and buttermilk are like 4x the price of plain milk and all you have to do is mix the milk with the culture and let it sit for 24 hours, then reuse a cup of it for a gallon of fresh milk for the next batches. Saves so much money if you use buttermilk or yogurt regularly.

Even though I'm a huge advocate of making your own pidzer dough, the truly cheap bastard hack is to brush tortillas with olive oil, mix that 35¢ can of Aldi tomato sauce in a bowl with garlic powder, italian seasoning, fresh black pepper, the lightest sprinkle of sugar *(optional, but it really does cut the acid of cheap tom. sauce.)over the surface and a tblspn. of olive oil. Mix it up good, nuke it for 1 min, stir, repeat until the edges are bubbly, then spread on the tortilla.
sprinkle the whole deal with can parm, then a light sprinkle of whatever main cheese you're using, top with toppings, more cheese as food glue, bake at 400°F for ~10 minutes.

Another related one, dishwasher soap is easily replicated by filling the cup wit 2-3 Tbspns baking soda and adding *ONE DROP ONLY* of dish soap.

"It is fatal to the fat globule membrane. Cold milk fat and freezing water both form large, solid, jagged crystals that pierce, crush, and rend the thin veil of phospholipids and proteins around the globule, just a few molecules thick. If you freeze milk or cream and then thaw it, much of the membrane material ends up floating free in the liquid, and many of the fat globules get stuck to each other in grains of butter. Make the mistake of heating thawed milk or cream, and the butter grains melt into puddles of oil."

They're great in general for dealing with scummy or untrustworthy companies, because you have tight control over how much or how often they're allowed to charge the card. But they're also decent for abusing new-customer promotions that are based on unique CCs, even though they'll eventually stop you from repeatedly generating cards for the same merchant if you do it too much.

This only works once: rent a u-haul and take a cow from the country side. Slaughter it in the backwoods. Cover license plate put painters tarp down and tack it. Bring apples to calm the animal. If you have them use hobbles. Shoot in the head and learn how to open the jugular, the amount of blood is improbable. Put down a second layer in the back. Dump the meat into a few big freezers. Never tell anyone. Remove tarps return u haul. Milk cows are especially docile as they are trained to be handled more than beef cows.

I think I have mine down to an actual 30 minute time or less.
I always have pizza dough ready to go because I make the next batch's dough during the current pizza cook time.
I make 12 inch pan pizzas in a cast iron and do the stove top to broiler method.
Dough is 360g AP flour for crunchy, bread flour for chewy. 9 g salt 9g sugar, 6 g yeast 1.5 cups milk mixed with a skinny wooden spoon. Salt sugar yeast can be eyeballed and this makes 2 pizzas of dough. I let it rise for 24 hours and then put it in a storage condition in the fridge.
I lightly oil the cast iron and maybe season it, then use a silicone spatula to plop out dough on the iron to warm up and rise. Then I start chopping toppings, usually onion and peppers and I get the roni ready. I gingerly spread the dough out in the pan with the spatula and then heat it on the burner about medium to create the base. While it is heating I continue topping prep or make dough again for the next pizzas.
Once the dough is pretty cooked on the bottom and no longer sticks I put it under the broiler for a minute so the top firms up. Then back out and put the toppings on and then back under the broiler until things start to burn a bit. Then out to rest and cut and eat.

This is as smooth as I've got it for a meal that is relatively quick, pleasant and on tap. I specifically tried to remove all the annoying parts like sticky dough hands and flour everywhere. Now the veg prep is the most annoying to me but I've started just dicing pep and onion in larger batches since I use it most days. It's definitely the best value meal I can make.

The first things you should buy when doing a grocery shop are
-1kg white flour
-1kg dried rice
-1kg dried navy beans
-1kg dried lentils
-1kg dried pasta
-2-3 tins of unseasoned tomato paste/concentrated paste
-stock cubes
-baking yeast
-onions & garlic
-2kg potatoes
-thick bacon or a similar cured meat
-fresh vegetables of your choice. But these ingredients BEFORE buying vegetables, ideally you'll get them at a cheap beaner fruit and veg shop
Should run you about 20 bucks and will feed one to two people for 2 weeks or more. Stock your pantry like a U-boat going out to sea and stop buying processed shit or snacks.

I agree but also needs some dairy for the regular trips. Simple farm cheese is also easy to make from scratch.
Lately my groce has had packaged peeled garlic cloves (USA grown) for cheap. I found that freezing them works well and in a way better since cell membranes rupture and I usually crush garlic. I also freeze lemons for lemon juice in recipes for the same reason.
