50+ #Bespaartips for #Huishouden

Save on groceries and food

• Make use of coupons.
• Create a shopping list and bring only the products on it.
• Put 1 item back before you arrive at the checkout, this will save a bit.
• Compose weekly menus.
• Always bring your own bag when you go to the store, so you don't have to buy a bag in the store.
• Boil large quantities and freeze. This costs money and time.
• Go to the market, here are some products cheaper than in the store (such as fruit).
• Often cook your food yourself, this saves a lot of money.
• Grow your own herbs.
• Make use of a vegetable garden and grow your own vegetables.
• Eat a little less meat, this saves your money. Or eat cheaper meat.
• Never throw away food. Store it for the next day (freeze it or refrigerate).
• Always bring your own lunch/breakfast.
• Buy products from the local farmer.
• Prepare your coffee or tea at home and take it with you in a thermos cup.
• Freeze your bread and defrost only what you eat today.
• Make sure you make cheaper meals like soup or salads.
• Compare product prices (per kg or litre).

• If you don't have/receive coupons: you can also check the offers from certain stores and then only purchase the products that are in the advertising. If you need to go off a number of stores for advertising items, this saves money again.
