I discover tips to save money on food
Budget Recommended
Being a student often involves having a very limited budget. However, food expenses are significant in the monthly budget. So, I am discovering the rules to follow to avoid unnecessary expenses.
To validate this mission
Here are the main tips:
- I prioritize homemade meals over ready-made or fast foods. Buying fruits, vegetables, meat, and cooking at home is cheaper than eating out.
- If I crave fast food, I go there in person rather than getting my food delivered.
- I prepare large quantities of food to avoid cooking every day and minimize waste. If I live in a shared accommodation, I buy groceries in bulk and share the expenses.
- I compare prices before making purchases.
I do my grocery shopping in large supermarkets rather than small convenience stores. I take note that the cheapest supermarket chains on average in France are E.Leclerc, Lidl, and Aldi. The most expensive ones are Monoprix, Auchan, and Casino
