I slashed my grocery bill by 40% using these simple meal prep hacks.
Hey there, meal preppers! If you're looking to save some serious cash on groceries like I did, listen up. I've been meal prepping for years now, and I gotta say, it's been a total game changer for my wallet and my waistline.
So, here's the deal: I started using this awesome meal prep container set a while back, and it's made all the difference. These bad boys are sturdy, stackable, and perfect for portioning out your meals for the week. Trust me, you'll want to check current pricing on these - they're worth every penny. I always try to go for glass or steel, but it's up to you to decide.
One of my top hacks is batch cooking. I'll spend a couple of hours on Sunday whipping up a big pot of chili or a tray of roasted veggies, and boom - I've got lunch sorted for the whole week. It's way cheaper than buying lunch out every day, and you know exactly what's going into your food.
Another trick I swear by is buying in bulk and freezing. I'll stock up on meat when it's on sale, portion it out, and freeze it for later. The same goes for bread - I always have a loaf in the freezer for toast or sandwiches.
Oh, and don't sleep on frozen veggies! They're just as nutritious as fresh, but way cheaper and last way longer. I always have a bag of mixed veggies in the freezer for quick stir-fries or to bulk up soups.
Speaking of soups, they're a meal prepper's best friend. You can make a huge batch, freeze individual portions, and have a quick, cheap meal ready to go whenever you need it.
Anyway, I could go on and on about this stuff. Meal prepping has seriously changed the game for me - both my bank account and my health are thanking me.
