Meal planning, grocery shopping, building a frugal pantry, prepping, and cooking food always has been part of most households. We have been good at it for ages.
Uncommon of today’s advanced facilities, our grandmas did it all by mentally reviewing and memorizing what to cook for the next day. And prepping up for the same.
In those days, people had so fewer food choices at their disposal that they remembered what items were they running short of, what needed to be repurchased, and what they had enough, by heart.
Hence, list-making was done by making a mental note.
Today, with a vast array of food selections, we need to be intentional with our food choices specifically when living on a small budget.
Today we’re going to see how to stock your pantry right on a tiny budget.
Make a list:
Buy generic food variants:
Shop at Farmer’s Market:
Stock up on a sale:
Grow your own food:
If you’re fortunate enough to be able to grow your own food, nothing like it.
People staying in apartments can also make a small attempt to grow herbs, sprouts, chilies, tomatoes, etc. if they’re willing to.
Preserve the food right:
Preserving food correctly is no less important.
You don’t want your volume purchases to go bad faster especially when building a pantry on a tiny budget.
Learning to store perishables correctly is vitally important.
Final Words:
Building a frugal pantry could be time-taking especially when you’re just starting out. So, keep following these steps by the month and you’ll soon have a well-stocked frugal pantry on a small budget.
