Over the past week, we have been reporting that United States consumers have been eating out more than they have been eating at home, and this is actually hurting their savings strategies.
A new report released by Daily Finance looks at ways that you can lower your food bill while also maintaining a healthy diet. Of course, it does take a little bit of effort and some time to cook a wholesome meal, but the savings are better and your health significantly improves (not to mention a reduction in healthcare costs).
With price inflation inflicting pain on meat and fish, you’re going to have to eventually figure out ways to lower your food bills. From creating vegetarian meals to consuming healthier snacks, here are six ways to make your meals cost a buck or two.
- Insert more beans into your meals to get protein and substitute the heavy meat.
- Create your own hummus since the ingredients are inexpensive.
- Get rid of the meat and add eggs instead.
- Be inspired by the Europeans by using beans and vegetables (and a baguette) for your stews.
- Be inspired, also, by the South Asians by combining rice and lentils (this’ll fill you up).
- Veggies all around! Eat a lot more veggies, and, if possible, grow them yourself.
