Depends on your locale. I bought fish for a family lunch of twelve today. Six dozen fresh sardines, 24 EUR. It would have costed more to order hamburgers or pizza for twelve. YMMV.
Yeah, but then you had to eat sardines. ;)
It may sound stupid, but eat plenty of fish. Omega-3 fatty acids (in fish) have been shown to boost mood and concentration, among other things. I can attest to that. But fish is expensive so just buy the pills at Walmart..
DHA and EPA from marine algae instead of fish are available now (google it). Algae is where the fish get it anyway.
P.S.: You should still avoid big species like tuna or swordfish, since they have high concentrations of mercury.

Congrats for kicking the habit, but to anyone that likes being addicted to caffeine and wants to save money, you can buy natural sources of caffeine such as kola, guarana, and yerba mate very cheaply online.
I second the mate. I love espresso and would drink it all day if I could, but it often leaves me feeling dehydrated. Mate has mateine, by the way, not caffeine (mateine is a stereoisomer of caffeine). I don't know it has different properties and that's the reason or if it's the plethora of other constituents, but in my experience mate gives me a mild, persistent buzz all over my body as where caffeine goes straight t…
It's the other alkaloids that contribute to the effects that are different than coffee.
Sometimes I record myself at the piano while I'm drinking, and then go back later and extract any of the good ideas. I've never had any luck coding drunk, though.

What do you mean? Fresh, lightly grilled sardines (with boiled potatoes dipped in their grease) is far and away my favorite food. Maybe you only tried them canned?
I used to be a caffeine junkie. Weirdly, however, after hitting a rough patch this year and deciding that I couldn't afford 4 2L bottles a day any more, I found that I was no less productive without it, and I'm far less anxious. I have an occasional caffeinated soft drink or green tea, still, but the non-stop highly-caffeinated Randall days are no more.
Kratom guy: it's really funny the way you guys have to sell your stuff. Another site sells "Kratom Incense Capsules".... When I open your site and see that bunch of green stuff for sale, it just looks like weed has another name now.
The incense thing is done more for the benefit of Paypal than anyone else.
