Talk about farmers buying food for their mother-in-law

I accompanied my mother-in-law to the market to buy food on weekends, and bought a lot of ingredients with 100. My friend exclaimed that she was really an expert in life. This is not bragging. I am an expert in saving money in my own life. I usually save a lot of money by saving money. Now I will share my exclusive secret recipe with you to ensure that you can save money and buy good ingredients.

Visit the stalls of North and South goods, and pick your eyes first.

Just entering the market, all kinds of north-south stalls are dazzling. Don't rush to start, shop around first, which booth is crowded, which shows that things are fresh and sought after. As soon as you turn around, you will probably have a good idea, and then you can buy good ingredients and save a lot of money by targeted selection.

2. shoddy and see through at a glance.

It is inevitable that there are shoddy phenomena in the market, such as using cheap mushrooms as Toona sinensis and fake longan as longan meat. In the face of these "smoke screens", we can't be careless. Look at the authentic ingredients and ask your mother-in-law's experience to see through these "fakes" at a glance.

Go early and come back early, the goods are all cheap.

The market is not an "office worker" who works from eight to five. Only by going early and returning early can we find good things. Early in the morning, the vegetable farmers just sent fresh vegetables, which are big and watery and affordable. On the contrary, when the stalls are closed, most of the remaining dishes will not sell well, and the price may not be much favorable.

4. Use the "bargaining method" skillfully, and bargain without stage fright.

Bargaining is a "compulsory course" for buying food. Be sincere, talk to the stall owner and close the distance. Shop around and understand the market before you can bargain. Bargaining should pay attention to strategy. Starting from the other person's psychology, a little humor can often make you buy "good quality and low price" ingredients.

Take a scale with you, and you will feel at ease if you weigh it enough.

Business in the market is measured by weight, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of weight. In order to avoid loss, take a small scale with you and weigh it on the spot, so you can rest assured. My mother-in-law is experienced and can always tell at a glance that the scale is not accurate. When she met a short booth, she resolutely turned away.

6. Identification of ingredients, freshness is the last word.

The most important thing to buy food is that the ingredients are fresh. Vegetables should be green and fresh, without rotten leaves. Meat should be ruddy and elastic. Aquatic products should be lively and discerning. My mother-in-law is an old driver who buys food. I can see the freshness of the ingredients at a glance, which has benefited me a lot.

7. Mobilize the whole family to make shopping interesting.

Shopping is not a person's business. Mobilizing the whole family to participate can save money and enhance feelings. Let the children help pick vegetables, let the husband help lift heavy objects, and the family will go into battle together. It is no longer a boring thing to buy food.

8. properly stored, ingredients will not be wasted.

Buying food to save money is one thing, and it is also the key to store it properly and not waste it. Vegetables can be classified, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. Meat can be frozen in small pieces. Aquatic products should be eaten as soon as possible to avoid deterioration. My mother-in-law is very experienced in this field. The refrigerator is always in good order and the ingredients are fresh and durable.

9. Neighbors help each other and resources are not wasted.

It is inevitable that you will buy more than you eat when you buy food. At this time, you might as well help each other with your neighbors and give them endless ingredients. You can also share more ingredients with your neighbors. It not only reduces waste, but also enhances neighborhood relations. My mother-in-law often exchanges needed goods with her neighbors, and the refrigerator always keeps the ingredients fresh and not wasted.

10. Reject impulse and rational consumption is not wasted.

It is inevitable that there will be impulsive consumption when buying food. Seeing fresh fruits and vegetables, I can't help buying more. But rational consumption is very important, so we should buy according to actual needs and avoid waste. My mother-in-law always reminds me to make a list in advance and buy as needed, which can not only save money, but also form a good habit of not wasting.
