Proper nutrition is now becoming very fashionable. And this is not strange, because it has many health benefits. But I also don’t want to give my entire salary for food, because there is a myth that proper nutrition is expensive.
Here are 10 ways to save money on food while still eating delicious and healthy foods.
1. Plan your meals
Make a plan of what you will eat and cook for the week. Check what products you already have and go shopping.
2. Use ready-made products
For example, leftover rice from a roast at lunch can be used as breakfast. Just add some cinnamon and fresh fruit with a little milk.
3. Buy meat with bones
It will cost less. In addition, the bones can be used for soup.
4. Freeze vegetables and fruits
To prevent vegetables from spoiling in season, freeze them. So you will have goodies all year round.
5. Buy food at the market
It will be not only fresh products, but also much cheaper.
6. Grow your own vegetables
If you have a cottage – do not let it be empty. Make some beds and plant vegetables.
7. Grow greens on your windowsill
Herbs in stores can be expensive and spoil quickly. Therefore, try to create your own garden on the balcony.
8. Save
Canning fruits and vegetables is a technique that has been around for a long time and really helps to make cheap and tasty stocks for the winter.
9. Don’t use cards
In this case, it will be easier for you to keep track of how much you spend.
10. Use discount coupons
Be sure to follow the promotions in stores and use discount coupons.
Check your refrigerator and pantry. First, eat everything that is left, and only then buy something new.
