Hello everyone, my name is Qingmi. When money is tight, it is also important to save money on food. I recently discovered some tips on how to save money on food, and I’m going to share them with my sisters today! 1. Tips to save money when ordering takeaways 1. Meituan’s daily coupons

Meituan often issues 20-7, 20-8, 35-7 and other daily coupons. After using up the membership red envelope, I rely on it. You can also eat freely by receiving coupons, and you can save seven or eight yuan on each meal. The key is that the coupons are free, which is not too delicious. So how to get a large amount of daily coupons? Friends who often order takeout can follow the "Meituan Takeout Daily Voucher" official account on WeChat, enter the official account and click "Daily Voucher" in the lower left corner, and then you can receive the coupon in the picture below. The coupon is matched with merchants Reducing activities can save a lot of money. In addition, the official account also offers a draw of 10 yuan at 10 o'clock every day, a draw of 16 yuan on Mondays, and a guaranteed draw of 12 yuan on Wednesdays. Remember to set your alarm and draw the prizes on time. 2. Meituan Pinhaofan

Everyone may have to pay three or four yuan in delivery fees when ordering takeout. Merchants need to pay Meituan’s technical service fee, and Meituan heavily subsidizes Pinhaofan in order to promote Pinhaofan. There is currently no commission, all income is credited to the merchant’s account, and delivery fees are paid by Meituan. Therefore, ordering takeout through the "Meituan Pinhaofan" channel will be much cheaper than usual. According to personal experience, you only need to form a group of two people at the same merchant to order takeout together. It is recommended to share it with your friends. The price for two people to order together is really beautiful, and no delivery is required. fee. 2. Tips for saving money by cooking by yourself

There are two ideas for saving money by cooking by yourself. One is to buy in bulk, buy a lot at once, take home and prepare the food slowly. The second is to buy what you need, and only buy enough food to avoid waste. Both ideas are great ways to save money and can be used in combination. Because I live alone and can't eat much by myself, I more often choose the second idea, which is to buy only a small amount of food each time, just enough for one person. Let me share with you how I save money when buying groceries and cooking. 1. Buy food online

Many people are accustomed to going to fixed supermarkets, fixed markets, or fixed stalls to buy food. This is the easiest way to buy groceries, but it’s also the most expensive because you often miss out on cheaper groceries. Online grocery shopping methods such as Meituan Selection, Duoduo Maicai, and Taobao Maicai are not only cheap but also save time, effort, and worry. For these three vegetable selling platforms, orders are placed the day before and the food can be picked up at noon the next day. My habit is to bring back the dishes I ordered the day before when I get off work every afternoon.

In just one minute every day, I can find out where the food I want to buy is cheaper. Open the three online platforms, and you can see the prices of the dishes at a glance, and you can immediately know whether they are cheap or expensive. Moreover, these three vegetable selling platforms often hold events, and the specials there are really cheap. Some people may worry that the dishes purchased online are not fresh, but in fact, there is no need to worry at all. When you pick up the food, if you find that the food is not fresh, you can return it on the spot. Just do it on your mobile phone and the money will be refunded to your account immediately. 2. Food shopping skills

I personally recommend that you buy vegetables that are easy to store and simple to prepare. For example, dried mushrooms, dried fungus, etc. can be soaked one day in advance before use. When you don’t know what to eat, you can pick up some fungus or scrambled eggs. And cucumber/carrot/pumpkin/onion/zucchini/all kinds of lettuce, etc. The biggest similarity between them is that they can be used as a supporting role in a certain dish to increase the richness, and they can be eaten alone, and they can be eaten cooked or raw, and they are not easy to spoil. For example, cucumbers can be served cold with some salt, shredded carrots can be stir-fried, pumpkins can be cooked in porridge, etc. 3. Universal rice cooker

I believe that the first kitchen appliance most migrant workers buy when they start cooking is a rice cooker. The rice cooker that every household has has many hidden functions. It can be called the sweeping monk in the kitchen. I wonder if you have discovered it?

Using a rice cooker to steam is just a basic operation. You can steam vegetables while cooking, saving time and effort! It can also make soup, sugar water or porridge with one click. At the same time, it is also the handler for cooking meat, which can make the meat tender and delicious. In addition, the hidden baking function is very convenient for baking soft cakes. The key is, with one-click fool-proof operation, even a novice kitchen user can cook three meals a day and make a delicious table!

I personally often use the rice cooker to make stewed rice. I only need to put the rice, ingredients and water into the rice cooker and press the cooking button to have a delicious meal. It also saves time and money. Energy, super convenient! Next, I will share a recipe for braised chicken and carrot rice that I often eat.

Ingredients: a small piece of carrot, a small potato, half a piece of chicken breast, an appropriate amount of multigrain rice, 1 spoon of light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of salt, a little ginger

Steps:

1. Wash, peel and cut the carrots and potatoes into small pieces, and cut the chicken into small pieces.

2. Add a spoonful of light soy sauce and a little ginger to the chicken, pinch it and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

3. Rinse the multigrain rice and put it into the pot. Add the cut carrots, potatoes and chicken pieces.

4. Because carrots and potatoes don’t have much water content, so add a little water, cover and cook~

5. After cooking, sprinkle some bibimbap ingredients and it’s ready to eat. !
