Living together with your partner is a happy and sweet thing for many people.

However romantic life is, there is also a need for food, clothing, housing and transportation, among which "food" is the top priority for China people from ancient times to the present.

two people live together, and there are few people. Of course, you can make do with it by ordering takeout, but it is true that the food outside tastes heavy, and it is also true that it is unsanitary and expensive.

So if two people live together, will cooking really save money? If so, what can be saved? I. Cooking Tableware

If you want to cook by yourself, the most important preparation is all kinds of cooking tableware, which is a big expense!

In fact, if you really have the heart, you can do great things here with little money.

for example, when two people live together, it is more cost-effective to choose some small kitchen appliances than big appliances because there are few people to eat. In addition, it is more cost-effective to choose multifunctional kitchen utensils than single cooking utensils.

Therefore, the recommended combination of the basic kit is: multi-purpose electric cooker+mini electric cooker

1, multi-purpose electric cooker

Multi-purpose electric cooker can be used for many purposes, such as frying, frying, boiling, rinsing, frying and stewing.

you can stir-fry a dish, cook noodles, soup, etc.

The electric cooker is small and the operation is very simple. Generally, there are only two gears, a small fire and a big fire. A small fire can be fried, and a big fire is suitable for cooking.

and the price is generally beautiful, you can find one for around 111!

in a word, it is versatile, low in price, convenient and fast, and does not occupy land!

2. Mini rice cooker

Dry rice person, dry rice soul!

For China people, especially those in the south, a bowl of delicious white rice is absolutely irreplaceable!

Therefore, a mini rice cooker is also an absolutely necessary cooking appliance!

It has many functions, besides cooking rice, it can also cook porridge, including making soup!

and the time is generally not long, such as cooking, plugging in the power supply, you can cook in about half an hour!

If you are lazy sometimes, just pour the previously fried dishes in and heat the rice, and you can be lazy to cook a meal happily ~

Of course, the power of this mini rice cooker is relatively small, and the price is not expensive, which is basically about 111 yuan. Moreover, because of its small capacity, it is basically not wasteful to cook at one time, and it can be eaten fresh every time.

3. Other

In addition to the basic set meal of electric cooker and electric cooker, if you like to drink soybean milk, fruit juice, rice paste, porridge, etc., you can also add a high-speed blender. You can soak these raw materials after work at night, open them in the morning, and you can drink nutritious and delicious breakfast drinks directly in a short time ~

Of course, if you absolutely buy all new ones, the price is still relatively high.

but once you graduate or for other reasons, you will hang it directly and sell it. And the second-hand price of this kind of electrical appliance is often very beautiful.

of course, this channel is only suitable for those who are relatively sensitive to price. If you mind, it is recommended to buy new products directly! Second, the purchase of raw materials

1, can store food in large quantities and cheaply

After cooking at home and preparing kitchen utensils, the first step is definitely to buy raw materials. It is naturally the cheapest and cost-effective thing for couples or partners who live together to take a weekend and buy some ingredients that can be stored for a long time for several days at a time.

For example, corn, potatoes, radishes and sweet potatoes can be stored for a certain period of time. Or some ingredients that are convenient to eat and can make workers lazy after work, such as dried noodles, quick-frozen dumplings and shrimp dumplings. They are all foods that are easy to store, delicious and convenient to cook.

2, fresh vegetables, a small amount at a time

In addition to the above foods, fresh vegetables and fruits should not fall, so as to supplement various nutrients and vitamins.

for fresh vegetables, it is recommended to buy a small amount at a time, because vegetables have a shelf life. If you buy too much at a time, it will go bad, which will lead to waste.

if you are familiar with the local market and are psychologically confident about the price of vegetables, you can also buy cheap and fresh ingredients at vendors such as the food market.

But as far as I'm concerned, I still prefer large supermarkets, because it doesn't take half a day to bargain and counter-offer, all items are clearly priced, and there is no risk of being short of two pounds. In addition, the shopping experience is also a very enjoyable process.

3. Shopping online is cost-effective and convenient

In addition, in recent years, online shopping has sprung up, with convenient and cheap prices and convenient logistics, many people can't put it down. My mother is one of them. According to my experienced mother, online shopping is cheap, fresh and convenient, so she likes it very much.

So, if it is inconvenient for offline shopping, it is also a convenient and cost-effective way to buy food online!

4. Two or three things about kitchen rules

Home is a place to talk about feelings, but if we cooperate together and don't divide the scope of responsibilities, it will easily lead to conflicts! The same is true for couples cooking together!

For example, my comrades-in-arms and I had two cooking experiences, which were like a chicken flying a dog jumping, and even almost quarreled twice. However, it is these two running-ins that let us know the differences of each other's lives in advance, and set the boundaries and rules of each other in advance.

For example, there is only one chef in the kitchen, and the other is a helper. The chef has the absolute right to speak in the cooking process. Of course, the chef can be replaced, this time you will be the chef, and next time I will be the chef.

This is very helpful for two people to deepen their feelings, to better cooperate and get along with each other, or to get used to family life in advance in the future. Third, save water and electricity

Kitchen, and another big expense is the expenditure on water and electricity! Unreasonable use is likely to make you pay high water and electricity costs.

1. The sequence is reasonable. One-time treatment

is like cleaning the ingredients, cooking, frying, etc. It is recommended to do it at one time.

This requires a charter and a plan before cooking, that is, "knowing what you know". If you are cooking white rice, it is suggested that you should first determine the recipe and buy the materials, then clean them up together and cook them in order.

2. Check and repair to reduce unexpected expenses

The environment of the kitchen has a great influence on the service time of various machines. At a certain time, it is also essential to clean the kitchen.

you can clean the range hood according to the actual situation, for example, about 1~3 months, including dumping the deposited oil. Use steel balls to clean up oil stains on the stove.

besides, pay more attention to the usage data of water and electricity meters at home to see if the recent changes are normal.

it is also very important to check and maintain household appliances, such as the timely replacement and timely maintenance of the drawer, which can greatly extend the life of electrical appliances. It can also avoid the sudden failure of items, so it pays a lot of maintenance or replacement costs.

in a word, living and cooking with your partner are both enjoyable things. As long as you pay more attention and love to life, you can find many places to save. I hope everyone can live happily and everything goes well ~
