Some people make a shopping list before going to the store, others, when they are there, spontaneously choose what they might need to make breakfast or lunch. Shopping can take up to two hours because we look at everything one by one and think about what we need. As a result, we later complain about lack of time, lack of money and lack of meals, because it turns out that the products we buy barely make one dish. How to change it?
How to save on food? Use the 6:1 rule
The 6:1 method, developed by chef and culinary expert Will Coleman, comes to the rescue. He shared the instructions on his TikTok profile. The idea is to buy six vegetables, five fruits, four protein-rich products, three starch products, two sauces or spreads and one cool thing for yourself when shopping. For $80 (approx. PLN 323), Will managed to buy groceries for 5 days for two people.
His basket included: arugula, shredded kale, red and green onions, cauliflower, parsley, bananas, lemon, avocado, two packages of frozen fruit, cucumber, bacon, chicken sausages, marinated chicken, eggs, whole grain bread, pita bread, pasta, red pepper pesto, garlic paste. As an extra item for himself, Coleman took frozen patties.
Home remedies for cheap living. You will save time and money
The chef argues that thanks to the 6:1 rule, grocery shopping is much more enjoyable and allows you to save a lot. “Frustrated with spending too much time in stores, wasting groceries and going over budget, I designed this method to simplify the entire process,” he told the website. Will prefers to buy better quality groceries and prepare his own meals rather than spending a fortune on packaged and processed meals. She focuses on vegetables because they are inexpensive and can be used in many different ways. Coleman emphasized that this method will work in any home, regardless of the number of people.
