Save More Money and Eat More Variety by Sharing Spices

posted on 20 February 2011 | posted in Technology


We all want to save money - from cutting our energy bills by switching suppliers (I did this via a search in Google for cheapest energy supplier uk by the way), to saving on our food bills. Talking of which, spices can be expensive, but they're vital for anyone who is living on a frugal, home-cooked diet. Fortunately, there is an easy way to get a large variety of spices without overspending. Try splitting the cost of spices with your friends, roommates, or neighbors. If three people buy one spice each, then each person has access to one flavor. But if three people buy one packet each and divide the packets between them, then they each have access to three flavors for the cost of one. Combine this tip with other cost-saving tips to save the most money possible: buy the spices at ethnic grocery stores so that each person gets three spices for the cost of one low-price spice, or have each person grow an herb so that everyone gets three spices while only needing to take care of one plant. It takes teamwork and coordination, but the added variety of flavor will improve any money-saver's diet.
