Tips to Save Money
Tunisia’s rich and flavorful cuisine offers a lot of possibilities to enjoy nutritious meals without breaking the bank. The Mediterranean climate allows an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and herbs to flourish, making it easy to incorporate healthy options into your diet. Olive oil, tomatoes, peppers, couscous, and chickpeas are not only nutritious but cost-effective. Here are some ways you can save your hard-earned money, but still feed your family a nutritious meal:
1. Plan and prepare meals in advance can prevent impulsive spending on fast food or takeout.
2. Prepare meals at home to control portion sizes and avoid the added expense of eating out.
3. Purchase grains, beans, and spices in bulk. By stocking up on these ingredients, you will have everything you need to create delicious meals throughout the week without breaking the bank.
4. Shop seasonally. Choose fruits and vegetables that are in season for the best prices and highest nutritional value.
