Planning
Tips to help you buy exactly what you need so your kitchen is efficient and accurate
Be accurate
Try to avoid being tempted with 1+1 promotions, especially on veggies, fruit and other products that quickly lose their freshness. When you buy too much, you will end up throwing more.
Action plan
Use a detailed shopping list to avoid spontaneous shopping. When writing the shopping list, check what’s already in the fridge and cupboard.
What’s the plan?
Before your weekly shopping, take a look at your calendar: are you heading into a busy week full of activities outside, and little time in the kitchen? Buy less veggies and fruit that will just sit there waiting for you
Buy local
Public surveys show that large monthly purchases at does not guarantee financial savings, since a large proportion of the cheap goods will be thrown out because we have not managed to use them. Prefer small point-of-sale purchases of products needed for the upcoming meal and avoided shopping of unnecessary items.
Bye Bye Spontaneous
It may sound cool to go into the kitchen and start fantasizing about exotic dishes you want to prepare, but it is worth planning in advance what weekly meals will look like to avoid shopping of groceries that will remain with no demand. At the beginning of the week, prepare a shopping list and buy the ingredients accordingly
The written word
Go shopping with a detailed list and avoid relying on your memory, that sometimes turns out to be disappointing at the moment of truth.
Host with your head
When it comes to hosting, most of us like to overload the table and create a sense of abundance, but is it really necessary? Is that the secret for a great meal? We don’t think so.
