The best tip to save money and eat well at the same time is to choose fresh and regional products.
When you go shopping, you don't necessarily think about it, but it's a good habit to get into.
You wonder why ? Let's see together the reasons for this economical and common sense choice.
For 2 simple reasons:
The 1st reason is that fresh produce does not need to be stored in the freezer. And since the freezer is a very energy-intensive appliance, it saves a lot of electricity.
In addition, frozen or canned products are more expensive than fresh products. You do not believe me ? Take a look at Picard...
The second reason is that regional products are, in most cases, less expensive than exotic or out of season products. These products often come from the 4 corners of the planet by plane.
And become who pays the plane ticket to bring your lawyer from Peru? You found it:it's you!
It's easy to eat well and save money if you choose locally grown seasonal fruits and vegetables.
The easiest way to find these products is of course to shop at the market rather than at the supermarket.
That said, many supermarket chains are increasingly dedicating one of their shelves to regional products.
And to make good savings at the market, know that it is best to go there around 12 p.m. If you want to know why, read Celine's article.
