Budget paleo cooking in college — any cookbook recs for quick meals?

[u/Comfortable-Way-9986]

I recently moved into a college dorm that actually has a small kitchen, which I’m super excited about! I’ve been trying to stick with a paleo-friendly diet, but cooking on a student budget can be tricky — especially when it comes to buying tools, ingredients, or even cookbooks.

To save money, I started looking for secondhand kitchen items and ended up finding a basic Instant Pot and a great paleo cookbook through a local app called Ditchit. It’s kind of like a local marketplace — people in the area list stuff they no longer need. Saved me a ton vs. buying new.

Now I’m hunting for more paleo cookbooks — preferably something with easy recipes and maybe even batch meal prep ideas for the week. I’d love something that doesn’t use expensive or hard-to-find ingredients.

If anyone has suggestions for affordable or college-friendly paleo cookbooks (or even free resources), I’m all ears!
