This isn’t your usual “cheap eats” theme. The Spoon goes as far as it possibly can to save money on food – with curious, inventive and mostly low-brow results.

The 36-page full-color zine is The Runcible Spoon’s longest ever, and its collaged pages feature found materials from travels to Switzerland, Japan, vintage magazines and junk mail.
