My Story

Hi I'm Tristen and welcome to Best Bang for Your Buck$, a food and recipe blog that I started to inspire my fellow buckeyes to prepare nutritional and delicious meals that don't break the bank.

 

I'm currently a senior at THE Ohio State University. During my time as a college student I have come to the seemingly obvious realization that living a healthy lifestyle in college is HARD.

​

I am not a professional chef or nutrition expert, but I want to share the tips and tricks I've learned over the past four years with other OSU students and friends. I know the #struggle of living on a college budget and the occasional utter lack of motivation to cook for yourself—but I'm here to help!

​

All of my single-serving recipes are quick and simple. I also compare prices of ingredients at grocery stores close to campus and include the lowest price I've found for every ingredient in each post. 

​

I really hope this resource can help YOU. If you have any ideas, comments, questions, complaints or just want to chat please contact me below!
