One should eat…

1. If you have little money, focus on buying food, not sweets!

2. Another tip is to decide when it is okay to buy that extra mile. Perhaps it is enough if you do it every time you get paid.

3. A simple way to save money on food is to buy as little extra food as possible. Moreover, eat healthier food!

Examine what you have at home by picking up everything you have in the pantry at home and setting it on the kitchen table. Try to see what you can add to get full meals. Is there a meal for which you only have to buy yeast for baking? If you have pasta, you can cook some. Make some calculations and see how much you have to spend before you get paid again. Plan three meals a day. Then write a shopping list. A classic purchase is noodles. However, they are cheap, but may be boring on the long run. Try to vary your meals so that you do not get sick of what you eat. Buy a core set of groceries for your home.

This may include:

- Flour
- Eggs
- Some spices + salt
- Rice and Rice
- Long-life milk
- Tea or coffee
- Pasta of any kind, such as spaghetti
- Canned food, such as chopped tomatoes, ravioli,
- Powdered Soups

Eating out in restaurants is not recommended if you are short on money. You can spend less money on food if you cook it yourself. Always make a food list before you go off shopping. Then follow the food list. Everything becomes very expensive if you have the impulse to buy. Choose a shop that you know has competitive prices. You can often find low prices for food in supermarkets and in shops that specialize in having a low profile.

Always check the durability when you buy fresh food. Will you use everything you buy before the product exceeds the date of expiration? You had better buy small amounts of each product. You can always buy later. Avoid temptation. One trick is planning your purchase. If you decide to treat yourself with something special, do it on the grounds that this is the only luxury you can buy.
