Plan your meals for the week, ensuring you buy only what you need, which reduces waste and prevents impulse purchases.
Buy staples like rice, pasta, and canned goods in bulk. It's cheaper in the long run, especially for items with a long shelf life.
Purchase fruits and vegetables that are in season. They're usually cheaper and fresher.
Meat can be expensive. Try incorporating more vegetarian meals into your diet to save money.
Use coupons and shop sales for your groceries. Plan your meals around what's on sale.
Freeze surplus fruits and vegetables or use canning methods to extend their shelf life and enjoy them later.
Store food properly to extend its shelf life, preventing spoilage and waste. For example, keeping herbs in water like flowers can keep them fresh longer, and storing bread in the freezer can prevent mold.
Make your own snacks and drinks rather than buying pre-packaged ones. Homemade items are cheaper and healthier.
