Food Hacks that Can Ultimately Mean Money for You

Food Hacks that Can Ultimately Mean Money for You

Nope, we’re not saying you will earn money by eating.

But you can obviously make a good standpoint out of food to get leftover money at the end of the week or month.

And we’re sure that you will thank yourself for your conduct.

You can even save better just by altering your food habits a little bit.

Most of us don’t do that, although we are aware of it.

We can definitely try out making new things and even newer strategies with money goals. We can try even better options for gaining some cash deposited in our pockets at the end of the month.

Now you can consider this as experimentation.

But since we are direct lenders, we often call it a precaution.

So, if you want to go our way, you can definitely try out the solutions that will satiate your tongue but also open your eyes about where you have been making payments on food without a purpose.

  • How Can Food Help Us Save?

Why not?

When Sam, a wonderful lad of 8, met us to take out a bad credit loan in Ireland to buy supplies for the next three months as he got unemployed and sensed it important to get some money as early as he could to stock resources, we couldn’t stop ourselves from asking him a few questions.

His answers were quite logical (on which he answered joyfully that he is a Virgo and that Virgos are logical). But one of them is a very good statement for the topic of this post.

We asked him how much he would spend on the food of the loan he took out from us.

We got this reply from him:

“I stay here with my girl in Dublin at a flat and we both are managing the rent and all…now you know she is going to pay the rent for a month or two…what  think at this moment is to take out the loan basically for food costs and that has a reason though. With this money, I am not going to buy any takeaway food and stuff. All I am going to do here is that I am going to stock the food, which are the essentials, for a minimum of two months so that I get to find my employment in this time while not worry about food.”

The life lesson that we can learn from the statement f this young man is that he is trying to make a point where he is willing to use the money on the food he requires and not the food that he favours.

That is already a point that we will discuss in this post.

With that being said, let us now look at the other ones and make it a point that we can still save some money using good food habits and smart food choices.

  • You Can Use Grocery Apps

There are a whole bunch of grocery apps out there, and they are going great with their services.

A good idea we can give you regarding these grocery apps is that you can save or collect the rewards and discounts and then use them together to get even larger discounts.

Many don’t use their gift coupons, and discount offers until they need a bigger purchase.

We have seen people follow this strategy and use the money to buy bulk products on occasions like the Housewarming Parties.

In that way, you can use the discounts fully as many of them ask you to buy products in bulk.

  • And Then Speak to Your Retailer

If you have been shopping from the same retailer for months on, you can ask the professional for customer loyalty programs.

It is kind of a relaxation offer where you are allowed to buy something at lower rates.

These options are tremendously economical for larger families. Even if you are living as a single person, then you can try this out and will eventually discover that you can make savings with it.

  • How about Buying in Bulk?

It is always a great idea to buy in bulks.

Imagine the Peter Jackson movie, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Did you remember the scene where Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit, sat down for a peaceful supper and right then the dwarves came one after another, and the hobbit had to go to the pantry to supply cakes and biscuits and other food items to the table?

The dwarves were very hungry!

Similarly, you should buy bulks of food because of two reasons:

They are cheap

There might be rainy days in your career or life

Ask your retailer and check the online prices of food items such as flour, biscuits, eggs, rice, and other grains to make your purchase.

If it is too costly for you (they are in bulk), then take out a small loan in Ireland from us.

  • Go Organic/ Firm-Grown

Let’s be frank.

You will find the organic market, which brings farm-grown foods from the farmers, way cheaper than market manufactured foods.

However, don’t buy genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) though. They can make you sick and can even give you irrecoverable diseases.

  • Learn to Love a Vegan/ Vegetarian/ Eggetarian Diet

Both vegan and vegetarian food is less in toxins.

Plus, they have some economic qualities too:

They take very less time to get cooked, therefore saving your energy bills

They also are fewer toxins, which means you will save money on medical bills.

They are cheaper than fish and meat.

If you love being a non-vegetarian, you can easily make do with eggs. They are more protein-packed and healthier than pork or beef.

  • Use Leftovers

Do you know that the watermelon crusts taste so yummy when frozen?

Or that the skin of potatoes is actually nutritious.

You can make a meal out of these things if you evaluate them. You will find that you throw away a generous portion of the food that you eat.

  • Eat What You Need

Don’t be impulsive.

It is a request.

Maybe the other chap standing next to you at the bus stop is hungry and that he needs to eat that burger from McDonald’s.

You don’t need it just because the other one is eating it, and you ‘just felt’ that you can also use a snack on your way back home.

  • To Conclude: Shop in an Empty Stomach

It is useful.

Studies have found that if you shop on an empty stomach, you are more likely to use the money in a better and more efficient way than you do if you are hungry.

You can harness your impulse buying habit with this practice.

Go ahead, try it out and let us know if you have made any improvements.
