OPEN CALL: Lux Center

CHEAP,
not crazy

I am a culinary cheapskate, of sorts. I try to limit the cost of a home-cooked meal’s protein to $2 to $4–total, not per pound. It comes from years of having no choice; however, I have these budgetary restriction to partially thank for my culinary creativity. You try having chicken, turkey, eggs or pork 4 days in a row; it will make you creative too. Now I will still buy a lux bottle of vinegar for $15, but I have priorities, ha. This next call is for the LUX Center, but it isn’t necessarily the theme. Take a look…

Print out the nutritional facts for your favorite and carry it around with you. Read before you order…puts a crimp in your criminal desires, trust me.
