However, no matter how 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, few people. Of course, it's ok to order takeout, but it's true that the food outside tastes heavy and it's also true that it's unsanitary and expensive.

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

First, cookers If you want to cook by yourself, the most important preparation is all kinds of cookers. These tableware are a big expense!

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

For example, two people live together, because there are few people eating, so it is more cost-effective to choose some small kitchen appliances than everyone else. In addition, it is more cost-effective to choose multifunctional kitchen utensils than single kitchen utensils.

Therefore, the recommended combination of basic package is: multi-purpose rice cooker+mini rice cooker.

1, multifunctional rice cooker

Multi-purpose rice cookers can be used for many purposes, such as frying, frying, boiling, rinsing, frying and cooking.

Want to stir-fry, cook noodles, make soup, etc. , yes.

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

And the price is generally very beautiful, you can find one around 100!

In short, it is versatile, low in price, convenient and fast, and does not occupy land!

2. Mini rice cooker

Dry rice man, dry rice soul

For China people, especially southerners, a bowl of delicious white rice is absolutely irreplaceable!

Therefore, mini rice cookers are also absolutely necessary cooking utensils!

It has many functions, besides cooking, it can also cook porridge, including 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 in the previously fried dishes and heat them with rice, and you can cook happily and lazily ~

Of course, this mini rice cooker is relatively small in power and inexpensive. Basically, it is about 100, and because of the small capacity, cooking at one time is basically not wasted, and it can be eaten fresh every time.

3. Others

In addition to the basic set meal of rice cooker, if you like to drink soybean milk, fruit juice, rice paste, porridge and so on. You can also add a high-speed mixer. You can soak these ingredients after work at night, open them in the morning, and then you can drink nutritious and delicious breakfast drinks directly ~

Of course, if you absolutely buy a brand-new one, and the price is relatively high, you can go to the idle fish, especially near the university town. Many college students cook in the dormitory, so they often buy a lot.

But once you graduate or for other reasons, you just hang it up and sell it. Moreover, the second-hand price of this kind of electrical appliance is often beautiful.

Of course, this channel is only suitable for people who are relatively sensitive to price. If you mind, I suggest buying new products directly!

Second, the purchase of raw materials is 1, which can store food in large quantities and cheaply.

After cooking at home and preparing kitchen utensils, the first step must be to buy raw materials. For cohabiting couples or partners, it is naturally the cheapest and most cost-effective thing to use a weekend to buy some ingredients that can be stored for a few days at a time.

For example, corn, potatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes and so on 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 preserve, 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 be left behind, 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 and lead to waste.

If you are familiar with the local market and have psychological confidence in the price of vegetables, you can also buy cheap and fresh ingredients at vendors such as food markets.

However, personally, I still prefer large supermarkets, because it doesn't take half a day to bargain, all the goods are clearly marked, and there is no risk of short weight. In addition, the shopping experience is also a very enjoyable process.

3. Online shopping is cost-effective and convenient.

In addition, in recent years, online shopping has sprung up everywhere, with convenient prices and convenient logistics, and 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.

Therefore, if offline shopping is inconvenient, choosing online shopping is also a convenient and cost-effective way!

4. Two or three things about kitchen rules

Home is a place to talk about feelings, but if we cooperate together and do not divide the scope of responsibility, it is easy to produce contradictions! The same is true for couples cooking together!

For example, my comrades-in-arms and I had two cooking experiences, which were called chicken flying and dog jumping, and even almost quarreled twice. However, it is these two runs-in that let us know the difference of each other's lives in advance and set our boundaries and rules 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, chefs can be changed. You can be a chef this time and I will be a chef next time.

This is very helpful for two people to deepen their feelings, get along better, or adjust their family life in advance in the future.

Third, water and electricity save the kitchen, and there is a big expenditure, which is the expenditure of water and electricity! Unreasonable use is likely to make you pay high water and electricity bills.

1, reasonable sorting, one-time processing

Such as cleaning, cooking and frying of ingredients. , it is recommended to complete it at one time.

This requires a charter and planning before cooking, that is, "knowing what it is." If it is boiled white rice, I suggest you determine the recipe first, buy the ingredients, then clean them up together and cook them in order.

2, check the maintenance, reduce unexpected expenses.

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

According to the actual situation, such as 1~3 months, you can clean the range hood, including dumping the deposited oil. Clean up the oil stains on the stove with steel balls.

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

Inspection and maintenance of household appliances are also very important. For example, drawers can be replaced and repaired in time, 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 short, it's fun to live with your partner and cook together. As long as you pay more attention and love life, you can find many places that can be redeemed. I hope everyone can have a good time and everything goes well ~
