In this week's Receipt, we're sharing how a 23-year-old full-time college student eats in Corvallis, Oregon. He makes $14/hour split between three jobs, which adds up to $8,000-$9,000/year. He also receives $281 a month in SNAP benefits, which he uses to pay for most of his groceries like produce, meat, and boxed goods, plus farmers’ market items. His grocery staples include chicken thighs, white rice, and broccolini. His SNAP benefits don’t apply to hot meals or restaurant purchases, and outside of his SNAP budget, his favorite bakery is Bodhi Bakery.

Are you prepared to step into the Marthaverse? Too late—you’re already here. You may have seen Martha Stewart's viral Instagram comment about “queso dip” recently, but it's far from the only instance of her appearing on our feeds. Over the past year alone, she has been seen in brand deals with Liquid Death, confoundingly but enthusiastically hawking cat litter in TV spots, and starring in three—three!—new series about gardening, cooking, and holiday entertaining on Roku TV. She’s somewhat stiltedly selling lighters for BIC, she’s collaborating with hypebeast clothing brands, she’s hosting a podcast, she’s making wine that retails for $11.99, and she’s topless in a commercial for coffee. Just this past month, Martha Stewart appeared in a commercial for the vodka brand Tito’s, and in @samstone000 's process of writing this piece, she has debuted yet another brand deal, this time with Oreos. How did we end up so deep in the Marthaverse? Read more at the link in bio.📸: Bon Appétit/Getty
Welcome to What a Steal, @shilpauskokovic 's monthly column where she shares a highly craveable recipe and shows you how to save some $$$ along the way. This month, it's all about spicy, stewy Pav Bhaji, a street food practically synonymous with Mumbai itself—perhaps just as iconic as Juhu Beach and Bollywood. Joyously messy and vibrantly spiced, pav bhaji relies on your spice drawer while also using trusty staples like potatoes and onions and green bell peppers. Plus, a lavish amount of butter, in the stew and on the buns, transforms this already-great “sandwich” into an extravagant meal. Get the recipe at the link in bio, and then check out some of Shilpa's other recipes (her kimchi and hot dogs sheet-pan pizza is one of our favorites). 📷 Photo: @isa.zapata , 🍴 Food Styling: @spencerwrichards , 🥣 Prop Styling: @marinabevi

Get the recipe at the link in bio and transport yourself to your favorite comfort zone. 📷 Photo: @isa.zapata , 🍴 Food Styling: @spencerwrichards , 🥣 Prop Styling: @marinabevi
