The desire to save on such a category of expenses as food is quite understandable and not so difficult to implement.

So, when buying vegetables, put in your basket inexpensive products that store well in the freezer, for example, turnips or white cabbage.

Don't be afraid to buy large batches - when you get home, divide them into portions and put them in the freezer.

Contrary to popular belief, even peppers and onions can be frozen – sub-zero temperatures do not affect their taste and health benefits.

There is also a place on the list for purple cabbage – even if you think about it a couple of times a week, it will patiently wait for you in the refrigerator.

But a simple trick with vinegar will help increase the shelf life of berries.

Mix equal amounts of acid and water and immerse the berries in the resulting solution.

All that remains is to rinse the fruit in cold water, dry it and put it in the refrigerator – they will delight you with their freshness and taste for several days.
