5. Purging the Freezer
You’ve probably had to rely on yourself and your own creativity in the kitchen during the pandemic. Did you happen to purge the freezer or pantry a few times? If no, it’s not a bad habit to stick to.
More often than not, we forget about some of the items we’ve stuck in there for months on end, but the coronavirus pandemic has taught us how to make do with what we have, coming up with interesting recipes on our own.
Stick to this habit and you should notice how your weekly grocery bills go down! You might want to set up an entire weekend where you’ll only cook meals with what you have rather than spending extra dollars out shopping!
6. Making Meals an Occasion
Speaking of getting creative in the kitchen, here’s one way you can make some of your meals more enjoyable. When stuck at home with no options but to eat in front of the TV or your computer all day every day, it’s important to switch things up in order to break free from the new norm.
You don’t need a reason to make things special. Don’t wait for someone’s birthday or anniversary to spruce up your dining experience. Set a picnic up in the back yard or bring out the good plates for a fancy dinner with your loved ones- best of all, everything is low cost since you’re having homemade meals instead of eating at a fancy restaurant!
