But just like any other scene, the Nintendo DS has a network of people working outside of the fringe to create those illicit goods you’d never ask for at a respectable shop. They hustle their homemade software from the back-alleys of the internet, each downloaded bit transferred in a nondescript paper bag.

We’re going to take you through that DS underworld, previewing a selection of homebrew games that are sure to arouse your interest. So put the kids to bed, light those candles you’ve been saving for a night like this, and slip into your robe and wizard hat.

Stretch your budget with vegetables. Dried beans cost just pennies per serving. A vegetable omelet with two eggs costs about 50 cents — half the price of one item on a fast-food dollar menu.

Seek frozen bargains. Fresh cherries can cost $8 or more per pound. But frozen, unsweetened fruit has the same nutritional punch for much less money. Use them in smoothies, cooking, mixing with other fruit or even for eating slightly thawed. 

frozen grapes or what have you are perfect on a hot summer evening.  yum!
