Do you know the ways to save money on your food? I will tell you how in this video today. Why am I doing this video? I am doing this video because I have made a number of videos on how to make money. It is important for me to also tell you how to save money on food. This is because food takes a huge chunk of the income of most families. The average family spends more on food than on clothes. Food expenses are recurrent expenditures.

It is not necessary that eating healthfully cost a lot of money. Here is a list of twenty different strategies that can assist you in saving money on food.

1. Take a look at the items that are currently on sale. Take a look at the flyers, advertising, and online products offered by the grocery shop to determine which products are now on sale.

2. Create a shopping or market list for food and then stick to it. Your shopping and food preparation list should include all of the components necessary for you to prepare nutritious meals and snacks. Create a food list using your menu plan as a guide to ensure that you only purchase the ingredients that you require.

3. Make good use of your coupons. You will only be able to save money with coupons if you plan to actually use the food in some way. Make sure you check the date that is printed on the coupon.

4. Bring a calculator. Calculate the total cost of your groceries as you shop to ensure that you stay within your spending limit.

5. Shop at 5 days intervals in local marketplaces around you. These marketplaces sell food products at the lowest possible costs and directly from the farms that produce them. more choices at costs that are typically more affordable than those found at convenience stores or smaller specialist food shops.

6. Become familiar with the cost of the various foods. Make a note of the standard pricing of the foods you buy on a regular basis. This can assist you in determining which marketplaces or businesses offer the most competitive prices and whether or not you are getting a decent bargain on things that are currently on sale.

7. If you are very hungry and in a hurry, you should try to avoid purchasing food from the market. When you shop on an empty stomach, you will find that everything has an unexpectedly positive appearance. You can be more tempted to buy meals that aren't good for you or that you don't actually need.

8. Become familiar with the structure of the market and the locations of the healthy food options.

9. When shopping for food, pay attention to the seasons. When they are in season, many different kinds of food, including tomatoes, yam, maize, vegetables, and fruit, are available at lower prices.

10. Invest on some frozen or canned food. Buy vegetables and fruit that have been frozen or canned when they are not in season or when they are too expensive to buy fresh. They have the same amount of nutritive value. If you are going to use canned veggies, you should first give them a good rinsing in cold water to remove some of the salt.

11. Check the "best before" date as well as the expiration date. Select foods that have a "best before" or "expiration" date, since this will ensure that you have sufficient time to consume all of the food before it spoils.

12. Choose store brands. Products sold under their own names or under store brands are not only nutrient-rich but also typically more affordable than pricier brand names. Consider purchasing cereal, pasta, vegetables, and canned items with no-name brands or store brands instead of the more expensive name brands.

13. Compare the prices per unit of various things that are the same.

14. Buy food items in large quantity. If you can't afford to buy in bulk by yourself, you may always get together with other people to split the cost of bulk purchases.

15. Make sure you have plenty of the staple foods you eat, such as rice, pasta, meat, fish, and beans in your storage at home. They all have a very long time until they go bad. Acquire as many as you can while they are in season or while they are on sale. Check to see that you have enough room to store them at home.

16. Ensure that your home's food storage is adequate. By correctly preserving food, you may avoid wasting any of it.
