Save money supermarket
Groceries are terribly expensive these days. You only have to pay for a few products and you have lost another rib from your body. Saving money in the supermarket is almost a must for many. And the key to doing this lies in a super handy method, invented by a chef from New York, Will Coleman.
This great man regularly shows on TikTok how he uses his method in the supermarket. And we’ll tell you in advance: it works super easy.
6 to 1 method
With the 6 to 1 method devised by Coleman you can shop faster, make healthier choices and pay less money at the checkout. That is how it works. The numbers 6 to 1 simply represent the number of ingredients you buy. In this method that means:
- Six types of vegetables
- Five kinds of fruits
- Four types of proteins
- Three sources of starch and fiber
- Two sauces or spreads
- One treat
The latter does not necessarily have to be something healthy or unhealthy. Here you can choose for yourself what you would like to have as a ‘cheat’ product.
Does it really work?
According to Will Coleman, yes. He states that this method means you spend less time wandering through the supermarket and just putting things in your basket or cart. The list of all ingredients helps you structure your supermarket trip and also ensures that you buy fewer unhealthy things. Eleven pieces of fruit and vegetables is not bad!
Because you have selected different groups (vegetables, fruit, proteins, etc.), you also make your meals super varied. All in all, this plan sounds foolproof, right?
