This is a place to share ways to eat inexpensively - whether that's with recipes, finding coupons, or preservation techniques like freezing or pickling.

PLEASE NOTE: What is considered "healthy" or "cheap"? This will differ for every person. Please take this into consideration when reading and commenting.

All nutrition suggestions/advice should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's best to consult with a medical professional and/or reflect on your own personal eating habits and budget prior to taking advice from friendly strangers on the internet.

Diet- or budget-shaming will not be tolerated. Some people may prefer organic food, others may have food intolerances, some may be vegan, vegetarian, or keto.

Bottom line: be kind, considerate, and aware of advice from strangers on the internet.

Thank you!

Summary: This paper will go through the options for Energy Drinks. (Including Pre Workout and Health Conscious Actual Energy drinks)

The Health Conscious Energy Drinks are not precisely incredibly more cheap but gives more for the price. Rather than pure sugar and unhealthy drinks. Please take that into consideration.

Pre Workout can do what Energy Drinks does and better.

Body: In our 21st century. Many people enjoy Energy Drinks. Such as these famous brands. Monster, Redbull, Nos, and ETC..

As we know. These are filled to the brim with sugars. Extremely unhealthy. These are some high causes of things such as Cardiovascular Issues, gastrointestinal issues, kidney Injury, Seizures, Acute Mania and worse. As stated by The National Library of Medicine

Of course there are alternatives. It is important to understand. The cheaper alternative is not completely healthy but from what I have experienced have better compounds to help certain conditions but please understand. This is meant as a scientific example not medical advice. I would though say. If you wish to follow any advice below. Talk with your health provider before hand. (Specifically the cheaper option)


Cheaper Option

C4 Pre Workout

When I was going through some of the most painful parts of my rapid evolution. Such as my sternum rebuilding and Ribs rebuilding. I needed pain medication though never would take pills because I didn’t know what was addicting or not and I believe many of us can agree. Why risk it?

Now I didn’t know C4 Pre Workout Original Fruit Punch. Did work as a pain medication but needed energy and for a long time searching. For something a bunch cheaper. As buying monsters constantly was incredibly expensive.

See here 24 Pack Monster for 60$+

Here is another example 24 pack Redbull (high price 47$$

Middle price 39$ Redbull

Lowest price 36$

These all have minimal benefits, value to add to your health.

And ok wait wtfff look I just found this 12 pack Redbull original for 35$!!!!
