Eating well while a college student does not mean subsisting off of Maggi. Here's how to consume wholesome food without going broke.
One should prepare meals for the week.
Cooking in batches saves money and time. On one go, plan a few days' worth of meals. Stored in the refrigerator, a big pot of rice or curry will last.
Shop Smart: Make large purchases.
Purchased in volume, staples including rice, oats, and pasta are less expensive. Search for neighbourhood markets or internet grocery sales.
Affordable and Packed in Value Meals
Cheap and nutritious are oats, eggs, dal, and vegetables. Add basic, quick dinners like soups or veggie stir-fries.
Utilise Student Discounts
Student discounts abound from many stores and food apps. Look for them always before you pay.
Steer clear of too frequent restaurant visits.
Not daily cravings; save your dining-out money for special events.
In essence, affordability does not mean compromising health. Eat wisely; your wallet will pay thanks.
