In these times of returning to frugality, many people want to save in all aspects of our lives without sacrificing quality. This is possible at the supermarket. Here are some tips:

Prepare Your Menus

It sounds laborious, and at first, it is, but it can be done. It simplifies everything related to food and helps us save because there are no waste, impulsive purchases, or last-minute expenses.

Evaluate Your Recipes

If your recipes require expensive ingredients, evaluate whether it is worth preparing them or if you can substitute them.

Prepare the Shopping List

With the menu ready, the next step is the shopping list. Even if you don't have menus, you can still prepare your shopping list, but it won't be as effective. Check what you have at home that you will need and what you need to buy. Stick to the shopping list to avoid impulsive purchases that may seem small but add up to a lot over a year.

Prefer Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables

Besides having more nutrients and better flavor, they are cheaper. With globalization, we can eat all fruits and vegetables all year round, but it's not the best option.

Shop at Farmer's Markets or Vegetable Stands

Besides helping small merchants and therefore your community, you will be buying fresher and cheaper products.
