1. Plan your meals
Make a list of things you'll need. All so you don't waste anything. Once you're in the market, stick to it. If you want to save money in a grocery store, good organization is essential. Go through your refrigerator and closet, check what products you already have, and think about how you can use them. Then make a shopping list.2. Don't go shopping hungry!
Research has shown that people who go shopping on an empty stomach buy more food and make less healthy food choices. Scientists say that it's all about the hormone ghrelin, which is responsible for feeling hungry. It affects the part of the brain that's associated with motivation and reward. Research has found that people that go shopping with an empty belly buy more, and make fewer healthy choices about food. Scientist says that it all has to do with the hormone, which causes hunger. It influences how we look for calorie-rich foods, so we spend significantly more than we did. In one of the shops, consumers who leave the store were asked to fill out a survey about how much hunger they want, and how much time they want to spend.3.

Prepare meals ahead of time and take them with you in work containers. This will make you use all the ingredients, nothing is wasted, and you won't be exposed to additional costs. It's no secret that preparing meals at home is much cheaper than eating them in the city. If you can't afford to spend a few hours a day in the kitchen, you can prepare larger portions that will last two to three days. When you cook at home, you decide for yourself what's in the food you're going to eat, so you can be sure that you'll eat healthy. For the price of one meal in a restaurant you can feed a family of four.4. Vegetarian fruit and vegetable juices
It's not good for their prices or their quality. The products we find there are not only tastier, but also healthier. Fruit and vegetable prices in season are significantly lower. So it's worth taking advantage of the charms of spring and summer, going to nearby fairs and bazaars. So we can enjoy the taste and smell of real strawberries or tomatoes that don't feel like they're made of plastic. Although most of them are available in markets all year round, you have to remember that to make this possible, these products are often transported from the other side of the world.5.

It's the same thing with plastered rolls, which are available in packaging. Products like rice, cashews, flour, pasta, buy in bulk. It is the same with beans, lentils, nuts, and dried fruits. For example, for a small pack of raw cheese, you'll pay much more than for the same amount of cheese per piece purchased by weight. These products usually also contain a lot of additives that will keep them fresh for a long time. They don't spoil quickly, so you can store them in tightly sealed containers.6. Watch out for promotions
Don't buy products just because they're at a promotional price. In addition, these offers are often unhealthy and low-quality products, and you should always avoid them. But be careful not to fall into the trap. Often this way, instead of saving, we spend much more, buying items that we never use. All kinds of overpricing and other offers can be a very good way to save money.7. Set up your own garden
Even a can standing on a balcony or on a parquet in a kitchen window can serve as a garden. Of course, this takes a little time and effort, but the satisfaction of being able to use the fruits of self-pollinated plants is invaluable! The most important thing is good organization and a little bit of willingness. That's why it's so important to make wise food choices that don't ruin your wallet and, above all, your health. You can buy your own seeds and seedlings very cheaply.
