It seems like such a simple concept, but deep down, it's not. Making extra of something only for it to go bad later isn't a good way to save money. In fact just the opposite.
That's another story though.
So how can you save money when you like to make meals by the seat of your pants?
Prep the bases.
Prep the things you can use all week. For example rice week.
One day you can have fried rice, another Mexican beans and rice burritos, and bake some chicken and toss it on top of rice. 3 meals right there, all with one thing in common.
Rice.
Rice and other grains are super easy to batch make. Like tonight, I was making dinner and made some quinoa. I trippled what I was making and tossed it all in my rice cooker.
A full pot later, I now have extra for the rest of the week. Maybe even seconds if I wanted.
I can't tell you how amazing it felt to scoop a serving put and have that all leftover. I have one less thing to worry about this week.
You can too.
