1. Cook by yourself
Cooking by yourself is one of the best ways to save costs. During college, students can use their own kitchens to make delicious and healthy meals, avoiding the high cost of take-out and the unhealthy fast food. Cooking by yourself can not only control the cost, but also ensure the nutrition and hygiene of food. For example, many home-cooked dishes are very simple. Let me introduce a delicious dish I often cook-fried chicken chops, which is very simple (see the picture below).

Every dish in it has a very detailed introduction, and Xiao Bai is right to follow it.
Step 2 choose cheap ingredients
When buying ingredients, you can choose some cheap and nutritious foods. For example, you can choose some economical vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, onions and so on. These vegetables are not only cheap, but also rich in vitamins and minerals, which are good for health. In addition, you can choose to buy cheap parts of meat and fish, such as chicken legs and pork chops. Although these cheap parts are not as tender as high-grade parts, some spices and techniques can be used to enhance the flavor in the cooking process.
Step 3 choose nutritious food
When choosing food, we should give priority to nutritious foods, such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, milk, eggs and beans. These foods provide the nutrients the human body needs and help to keep healthy. In addition, we should avoid too many high-calorie foods and processed foods, such as snacks, potato chips, drinks, etc. These foods are not only expensive, but also harmful to health.
Step 4 avoid wasting food
Wasting food is not only harmful to the environment, but also increases the cost of living. In order to reduce waste, the leftover food can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated at an appropriate time.
In addition, you can also learn to use food residues to make new dishes. The method of making fried rice with leftover rice (overnight fried rice is more fragrant ~) is as follows:
5. Avoid buying too much food
Buying too much food may lead to waste, so it should be avoided. When buying food, you can plan according to your own needs and budget. In addition, you can choose to buy food in small packages, which can reduce food waste.
In a word, saving in college doesn't mean having to eat bad food. Cooking by yourself and buying cheap food are not only nutritious, but also can save a lot of money.
