How to get the most out of your food hauls
Since I do a lot of food hauls I learned a lot about durability and what you should lift first so that you can get a baseline set of ingredients in your pantry🍑
🍒Lift seasonings! There will come a time when all the lifted food you get needs to be cooked and it’s going to taste bland.
🍑Lift canned foods and frozen vegetables and fruits! These will last you forever! Buying fresh food is always better but you’ll need to do that every week. Bulking up in this will make sure you’ll always have a stocked fridge even if you run out of fresh food.
🍒 Lift things that last a long time in your household, whether it’s orange juice or milk, you’ll want products you can actually enjoy but won’t go through super fast.
🍑 Stay away from foods in the inner section of the market, these tend to be junk. Do not lift junk to fill your pantry!!!!! It is NOT filling and will fly out of your shelves! do this after you have your pantry full!
🍒 Try and lift difficult items in bulk, if you can’t really lift cereal, then go one day extra and get more of them all at once! This saves the hassle of you stressing every week for one box when you take the extra day to get a couple in one hit!
🍑 Lift INGREDIENTS! Not already prepared food! This is always the freshest and cheapest option as well as healthiest! You’re not going to eat a head of lettuce with nothing else! You’re going to put it in broths and salads and sandwiches! If you want pasta then lift the individual ingredients like the pasta shells, tomatoes, tomatoes paste that sort of thing. It’s smarter then lifting a $10 premade item that’s only one serving for one person.
🍒Lift soups! Please lift soups if you struggle keeping food in the house! You can lift these and make little sandwiches for dinner and bam you’ve had a filling meal! They are also really small and not heavy! And they last a long time! PLEASE STOCK OF CANNED FOODS!
🍑If you’re going to lift fresh foods like me then please know WHEN you’re going to eat them. If I know I’m going to eat 3 avocados in 3 days I’ll lift 3 FRESH ones. After if I eat avocados for the rest of the week (4 more days) I’ll lift 4 unripe ones. That way by the time I do eat them they will have ripened and not spoiled! Some fruits and veggies spoil in the fridge so please google the specific food item you’re looking for so they don’t go to waste!
That is it my lovelies💖💖💖 I hope I helped even a tiny bit! I see a lot of us on here struggling to eat and I wanted to give some tips on how to make the most out of it! I use reusable bags and the walkout method! If this is your only means of food then please switch grocery stores often! As well as times you go by! 💖💖💖 LOVE YOU, STAY SAFE!
