3.Eat foods that are in season

Sorry but if it’s not mango season, it just isn’t mango season so stop the ‘cross-country’ journey trying to find them. Eat the fruits and vegetables that are available then. You’ll get to try out new foods and also switch up your diet as well.

4.Stack up on plant based proteins

You don’t have to spend so much money on certain types of fish and meat if you don’t have the budget for it. Opt for plant-based proteins instead for instance beans and green grams.

5.Buy and cook in bulk

Buy your food in bulk – and no we don’t mean 3 kgs of fish in your fridge – maybe enough for a week or two. Cook and freeze the food to make planning easier and to help save on costs.

One great place to buy food in bulk is the local market as compared to buying a few pieces of chicken one day and having to go buy more food within two days.
