Have a food delivery addiction? There is no denying that restaurants offering a delivery service provide lots of convenience to busy people who do not have the time or energy to cook.
Ordering food may seem like a convenient way to satisfy your cravings, but frequent orders might not be practical, both in terms of personal finance and health.
If you are looking to save money but still enjoy tasty meals, here are some things you can do to break your food addiction.
1. Plan your weekend meals
Let us face it, many people feel the urge to dine out and order food on weekends. Maybe you have a busy schedule or perhaps you just want to relax. Instead, try meal planning in advance so you feel prepared and do not resort to using delivery apps.
Prepare a simple breakfast like oatmeal and fruit, or home-made avocado toast and eggs before you head out for the day. If you will be out all day, consider packing a lunch to bring with you.
You can also buy snacks in bulk to help curb your appetite between meals.
Lastly, consider preparing a delicious meal (multiple servings) to enjoy for dinner over the next few nights so you will not have to cook.
2. Embracing cooking with technology
With the right tools and resources, even beginners can develop their culinary skills and explore the delights of home-made dishes. The market now has easy-to-operate cooking appliances.
With features like temperature control, self-timers, and automatic cooking, and chopping, home cooking becomes more precise and convenient, ensuring consistent and delicious results.
3. Take turns cooking
If you do not like to spend time cooking, you do not have to do it often. Cook meals in batches that way you can have leftovers and also alternate cooking responsibilities with other family members.
If you can cook a meal for two to three days and have someone do the cooking for one day, you will not really have to spend much time in the kitchen.
So, dive into the world of home cooking and savour the pleasures of preparing your own delicious and nourishing dishes.
