5 saving tips
Purchasing power reduction, crisis: we will all have to make cutbacks in the near future. But even in times of savings you can still eat healthy without being (more) expensive.
Smaller portions of meat
Meat is usually the most expensive part of your meal. Replace meat with an egg or make a bean dish. You can also take a smaller portion of meat. Do you buy meat on sale? Then immediately freeze what you don’t need.
hard candies
Long time on the road? Bring a small box or can from home with a few drops or a speculaasje. This way you resist the temptation of expensive and large snacks. And never eat more than planned. Another tip: choose hard candies, you can not chew them so easily.
Uncut fruit and vegetables
Buy whole fruits and vegetables. Products such as sliced lettuce or pieces of apple are more expensive and do not last as long. Frozen vegetables, cans or jars have a long shelf life and are just as healthy as fresh, but often more salty. Look for the less salty variety on the shelf, it’s labeled “sodium.”
Delete intermediate packs
Those who want to be cheap, delete individual intermediate packaging from their menu. Eat instead an Apple, sandwich or something else from the Wheel of Five. Too rigorous? Then cut your own gingerbread or take one biscuit from a pack.
storage boxes
Nice packaging works wonders. Together with your child, find nice cans or storage boxes to pack healthy snacks. This way, every family member can take cheap extras with them. Also fun: sew or find fabric marble bags to take apples or mandarins with you.
