Thanks for posting that. When I went GF in college everyone in the support group and forums online were like "just cook for yourself, it's a lot cheaper and easier" and they insisted that they were correct, ignoring the massive investment cost in not only manufactured food but dishware, cutlery, tools, ingredients and condiments. Everyone acted like I should just get it done, when I didn't have $20 to my name most of the time and had a hard time convincing my parents that I needed more money for special food. It's a really hard thing to watch on the forums as people tell these college kids to just find a place to cook and do it, damnit.
well, I can't find the other comment section, so I'll respond to it all here. First: that really sucks about going GF in college. I didn't find out you were GF until you were in that apartment, but I assumed you had been that way for nearly ever and I just hadn't noticed. Bu tYeah, just the dishes alone is enough of a cost, then on top of that the food. I'm always surprised when I find I've bought something that's GF cuz I totally associate that with a high cost, and yeah, I could see how if you had MAD gobs of time (something most students are missing), you could make SUPER healthy Gf meals for cheaper, but damn if that's not a lot of work and time
