How can I save money by buying food when cooking alone?

Finally, I lived in a house where I could cook in April last year. Cooking by yourself will be much cheaper and healthier. Today, I want to talk about some tips to save money.

Buy food in the supermarket

Although buying food online is cheap, there is a delivery fee. I don't need much money myself. It's just that the delivery fee is not worth it. Sometimes the food I buy is really bad, so I buy food in the supermarket near my home. These are some of mine. Be careful.

Unified purchasing on weekends.

Generally, a menu for next week will be pulled in advance, and then a "purchase list" will be compiled to clarify the quantity and types of purchases and go to the market in a planned way.

I have my own supermarket route.

Plan the path of visiting the supermarket reasonably, instead of being led by the market discount promotion route. Usually we start from the meat section and then go to the fruit and vegetable section. It only takes about 40 minutes to buy food a week.

Choose fresh ingredients.

Choose native fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and fresh seafood according to the "shopping list" in the mobile phone.

Pass the "shopping list".

It can not only reduce inefficient shopping or vacillation in supermarkets and vegetable markets, but also avoid impulsive consumption or repeated purchases.

Study more cheap ingredients.

Such as potatoes, fried potatoes, shredded potatoes and stewed potatoes. Eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, sweet and sour eggs, custard The cost of ingredients is low, but it is not easy to get bored if it is made into different patterns.

Don't choose from the supermarket, cut it into the fresh-keeping box. Those are rotten vegetables. Cut off the rotten part for you. They look good. Eat seasonal vegetables.

You don't have to choose the price. Supermarkets buy what they think is cheap. If the quality is good, you can buy it yourself several times. For example, the more expensive and better-looking leeks are really more delicious than the cheaper ones.

If you store vegetables in the refrigerator, don't store too many vegetables.

I really don't have time to buy many. Pay attention to preservation. Don't buy perishable vegetables. For example, small rape blossoms and water spinach. In addition, when you buy it, put it in a sealed bag, and the freshness is much better than that of ordinary fresh-keeping bags!

Tips:

Cover it with plastic wrap or put it in a plastic bag to avoid exposure and corrosion by bacteria in the refrigerator.

Keep it for a short time and eat it as soon as possible.

Tomatoes, potatoes, onions, green leafy vegetables, garlic, ginger, etc. Can't put it in the refrigerator.

Generally, edamame, peas, broccoli and cauliflower (white) can be refrigerated in the refrigerator for 3~5 days; Cabbage, carrot, pumpkin, etc. It can be refrigerated for a week or two.
