Rules of Engagement

Remember, we come from a varied and diverse background, and all of us have different perceptions of what cheap and healthy means. There is no one right way to eat for all people and all budgets, and there is always room for improvement. Please keep things cordial and respectful, and if you think you have a better set of recipes, lead by example and post them! This means you are not allowed to tell people their content is not healthy, period.

Post your freezing, canning, recipes and ideas for people to eat both cheap and healthy.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSION RULES:

1 All links or image posts must include a formatted recipe. This includes text posts with a recipe in the main body. Format all your recipes, please.

2 No direct links except to imgur.com and youtube.com

3 If you want to post a link to a website, you can use the SELF POST option and leave the formatted recipe along with an embedded link in the text box.

4 All posts, and comments must follow reddiquette and self promotion guidelines. We monitor things a bit loose here, but will step in without regard if the content does not fit our sub theme or violates site guidelines. No polls, surveys, research for school, no ads, limited self promotion, do not ask for dietary advice or medical advice, etc. Please be positive, constructive criticism is welcome but being mean is not. See our rules of engagement mantra for clarification. This also means that any arguments of dietary restrictions are not allowed, no matter which side you argue for. Nobody has time for that drama.

5 Please use the search bar BEFORE you post. Common post and questions will be removed and you will be banned. We do not tolerate laziness.

FORMATTING EXAMPLES

Please be constructive with your comments! If you have a healthier option, please post that instead of argumentative or disruptive discourse.

moderators will remove comments or users who just want to argue and do not add to the healthy discussions. It's just food but to some people, the recipes, images, discussions and interactions here can help them to get to a better place in their personal lives. We use reddiquete as a rule here and not just a good idea.

Please help us grow the community.

While we encourage new content we also want the bloggers and people who just post external links to interact with the community. Any questions concerning whether you are a blogger with a reddit account or a redditor with a blog can be found here. Please feel free to contact the mods with any questions or comments.
