Seven Ways To Cope With Rising Price Of Food

Continuous rise in price of food has made many families helpless and there appears to be no respite in the possible future. However, adopting the following prescription could reduce the cost burden.   

Eat at home

Dining out is an expensive proposition. Many of the meals that you pay for in a formal restaurant can be made at home for a fraction of the price. Even good coffee is cheaper to make if you do it yourself.

Shop with a plan

Plan your meals for the week ahead and make careful note of what ingredients you need to prepare those dishes. Once the list is made, purchase only the items on the list and avoid impulse buys.

Keep your kitchen stocked

Stocking the kitchen or making bulk purchases means you will be able to reduce the number of trips that you make to the market every day or week. Stocking up reduces the odds of unnecessary purchases.

Have a garden

Families living in the rural areas have more gardening options than those living in suburban or urban areas. Families with limited or small outdoor spaces should look for resources on urban gardening,

Avoid waste of food

Before you toss perishable food into your cart, think about exactly how you’ll use it, noting that organisations such as the Environmental Protection Agency once estimated that people generate millions of tons of food waste each year.

Minimise purchase of snacks

Not only do the high price of snacks hurt our wallet, it also wasn’t good food for the waist line. So we cut out 95 per cent of the snacks and just don’t keep them around anymore.

Compare prices and stores

The store that features the lowest average prices in your area is often the best place for routine shopping.
