How to save in the kitchen?
Often young and very housewives complain that they spend a lot on food. It’s like they don’t buy food, but the money still spreads. Of course, no doubt, products are expensive now, but that’s not always the reason. Often it is not known; we do not know how to use what we are buying property. In this article, I will share the little secrets about how to buy and spend products.
So, we buy correctly :
Shop once a week. Then you will always have food ready with fresh products on the table. Of course, it is better to buy bread, milk, cooked sausage, and other perishable products every day. Learn to buy exactly what your family needs for this time. Better a poor horse than no horse at all.
Often people spend a lot because they buy food in a store near home – out of convenience. Find out what cheap stores are in your town and go there once a week to shop. As a rule, products are not stored in these stores, and purchases of fresh products will be a bonus to savings.
Everyone knows you have to go to the store with a list of necessary purchases. But don’t make a list immediately before going to the store. It’s best to do it slowly within a week. Then you will not forget anything.
Always indicate how much you are willing to pay for a particular product on the shopping list. Calculate the total amount and take a lot of money with you to the store.
Now let’s talk about how to spend the products properly:
You often hear from hostesses: “There’s a whole fridge of meat at home, and I bought ready-made meatballs for dinner last night! Where does the money go?” Isn’t that a familiar situation? But after work, there is no time or desire to defrost, cut, twist the raw meat and sculpted cutlets, so you have to buy ready to cook in a hurry.
Therefore, when you buy pieces of meat, chicken, or fish, please do not rush to put them in the fridge immediately. Cut the chicken and fish into portions and put them in a packet (for dinner, for example, you need four pieces of chicken – put that much in a bag), and then freeze it. This is very convenient – in the morning before work I took out the necessary package, in the evening prepared a molten product, which can be prepared quickly. Do the same with the meat – quickly goulash, cut it up for chops, make raw meat and stick to the meat sticks. All of this can be quite icy.
As a rule, meat or fish products are eaten together, but the side dish often remains. You can eat it the next day, but what if the family no longer wants yesterday’s pasta? To do this, you now need to calculate how much to cook to eat the side dish.
The middle portion of the finished side dish for a person is almost as dry as the product. It fits in the palm of his hand. Remember what kind of hands you have in your house and exactly how many dried pasta, rice, bakewitt, etc. potatoes you take are calculated as follows: age, physical and of course, appetite depending on if the potatoes are cooked as a dish on their own, for example, Fried, the amount can be increased. Okay, if you still have a side dish, a good old friend will come to the rescue – a freezer. The rest of the rice can be frozen and used as a mainstay for quick cooking or pies. You can then heat the pasta, pour the eggs and bake in the oven. Suitable for filling bacon, eggplant, or fat cabbage.
After the festive episode, a meat cut dries quickly and takes on an unexpected look. If you have no desire to eat it, finely chop and refrigerate, then prepare a hodgepodge. On the left is a fish cut – remove the bones, place the pieces in a container, transfer the onion to the cut rings and fill with vegetable oil. This will create something like preserving the fish, which can be stored in the fridge for a week.
Here is a small piece of universal tips for those who want to save money in the kitchen. I do not doubt that every concubine has many secrets. I hope this information will help you plan housework and family budgets regarding food purchases.
