Steph and Alex are back again! We discuss meal prep, cooking at home, snacking to prevent take out cravings, and tips and tricks to make the most out of the food you buy. Hope this inspires others to cook at home more to save money!
Key Takeaways
- Tracking your expenses, especially for food can be very eye-opening and help you gain perspective on how to better allocate your spending, and maybe inspire you to cook at home more so that you’re able to spend money on other things
- Costco (or any grocery store) rotisserie chickens are great value, so versatile, and last for so many meals! Definitely a good option if you’re in a pinch
- Meal prep kits are fun but on the pricey side – it’s recommended that you purchase with a coupon code, they’re so easy to find (links below for Hello Fresh and Good Food)
- Planning ahead saves you money, whether it’s having snacks on hand or planning your meals throughout the week
