Summer is the best time to save on food. The most important thing is to know how it can be done.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not buy ice cream with toppings in the summer, because of them the cold treat is much more expensive. It is cheaper and healthier to buy an ordinary ice cream, make mashed potatoes from berries and sugar, cut your favorite fruits into pieces and mix.
Step 2
For the sake of economy and health benefits, instead of purchased lemonades, make your own. For example, pour boiling water over two glasses of berries and cover with a lid. No need to cook. After an hour, add sugar or honey to taste, bottle and store in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Rinse the greens from the garden, put them in a jar of cold water and store them in the refrigerator. So, it will be fresh for a long time. If the greens are still wilted, then dry them by spreading them out on the table. Then grind and use for soups and main courses.
Step 4
Keep bread in the refrigerator to keep it moldy. And dry the leftover bread in the oven and make homemade kvass from it - it will turn out cheaper than purchased one. In addition, homemade kvass is very useful, since it contains no preservatives and a high content of vitamin B.
Step 5
In summer, during the season of vegetables, do not buy rice and other cereals, noodles. Prepare side dishes from what has ripened in the garden beds. For example, cut sweet peppers into strips, add tomatoes and sauté everything with small pieces of chicken. Make vegetable mixes to your taste (tomatoes, peas and zucchini or eggplant, peppers). By the way, such mixtures can be sorted into packages and frozen for the winter.
Step 6
If there is no time to make jam, do "five minutes". Wash the berries, cover with sugar, cook for five minutes. Leave it overnight. In the morning, while going to work, cook for five minutes and leave on the stove. In the evening, cook for another five minutes and place in the jars.
Step 7
Beets and carrots can be prepared for future use so as not to buy in winter when these vegetables are more expensive. Cut the peeled beets into cubes or cubes, and grate or dice the carrots. Divide into bags, tie and store in the freezer.
