Shall we?

 

 

 

1. Types of foods.

 

Healthy Ones.

 

As Lithuanian naturopath Ann Wigmore wisely said, "The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." This quote underscores the profound impact of our food choices on our health and well-being.

As you're aware, the food you consume plays a crucial role in your health. You have the power to make informed choices, and this empowerment is key to taking control and responsibility for your health.

Therefore, the first type of food we will discuss is the one that will best contribute to your overall health: Healthy food products.

While you're likely familiar with most of these, we've taken the liberty to mention a few, showcasing the rich variety of healthy food products available. This diverse range of options can inspire you to experiment with new flavors and textures, making your diet both interesting and nutritious:

 

Dark Green Vegetables.

Whole Grains.

Extra-virgin olive oil.

Lean beef.

Fish.

Tubers.

Fruits and berries.

Coconut oil.

Bread (whole wheat flour).

The Traditional.

 

Before delving into the 'Traditional' family meal concept, let's take a moment to bask in the warmth and comfort of a classic family dinner in Dallas, Texas, at a conservative American home in the early 1960s. This scene, a stark contrast to our fast-paced, modern lives, is a comforting contrast many of us long for, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times.

Suppose we imagine the same picture as you, then. In that case, a conservative American mother wearing a homey apron with a beehive haircut serves shepherd's pie next to an excellent lasagna. The family's father scolds his children lightly to sit politely near the table while putting some rice and vegetable salad on their plates. On the table, we will also find hot and fresh homemade bread and, next to it, a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice.

As the (male) family members eagerly anticipate the post-dinner football game, the mother, a silent yet powerful force, ensures that all pre-dinner prayers are appropriately said. Her role in maintaining the family's traditions is invaluable and deserves our utmost appreciation, making us feel grateful for the strong family bonds she helps foster.

Good Old Dallas - barbecue, god, and football.

You can read more here about what dinner at home was like 60 years ago.

It's important to note that this meal description is just one example. However, the underlying theme remains the same - it's all about traditionalism and family values. The variety of traditional family meals is vast, inspiring us to be creative and original in our culinary endeavors, sparking a sense of excitement and adventure in our cooking.

The ingredients we named "Traditional" will include comforting and homely carbohydrates, which will form the basis of any rich family meal.

 

Here are A few examples:

 

Macaroni and cheese.

Turkey shepherd's pie.

Chicken and gravy.

Celery soup.

Oven pot roast.

Meatball.

Meatloaf.

Roast chicken.

Slow-cooker pork loin.

Separated pork chops.

Chicken and broccoli casserole.

Chicken pot pie.

 

These are just a few examples of the various 'comforting' and homely meals discussed above.

It's important to recall that the 'traditional' recipes mentioned earlier are merely broad examples devoid of specific recommendations. The choice to procure the 'right' ingredients, those that transport you back to the comfort of your home, is entirely yours.

The origins of these ingredients typically lie in the vegetable, meat, fish, and carbohydrate sections, all of which necessitate the patience of slow cooking. 

The result? A meal that's worth the wait.

Imagine the warm embrace of your beloved grandmother as she serves you a hearty Thanksgiving meal, her love and care evident in every bite.

It will definitely do the trick.

 

Sweet home

 

By the way, even if we really try our best to be more specific and recommend certain products, It won't get the job done since the variety of recipes relevant to this concept is enormous.

Try to be original. There's no way around it. But that's also the beauty of it- you have the power to create your own unique family dinner traditions, and that's something to be confident and proud of.

Cheat Meal (And Products).

 

We finally got to the fun part.

'Cheat' Meals are a liberating concept, a delightful break from your 'serious' diet regime. They allow you to indulge in your favorite foods without worrying about calories or health quality. It's all about freedom, enjoyment, and the sheer pleasure of savoring your beloved dishes. 

For a more comprehensive understanding of 'Cheat meals,' you can find detailed information here. In a nutshell, it's a strategy that allows you to enjoy your favorite foods guilt-free.

By the way, due to our desire to stay on topic, we deliberately ignore the well-known question: 'Should You Have Cheat Meals or Cheat Days?' If you really want, you can read about it right here.

Now, let's tantalize your taste buds with some famous 'Cheat Meal' examples that are sure to make your mouth water: 

 

Pancakes.

Chocolate.

Ice Cream.

Pulled Pork.

Cheese Plate.

Pizza.

Popcorn.

Chicken Wings.

Milkshakes.

Burrito Bowls.

French Fries.

Burgers.

 

All of these are just a few examples. There are many more from where they came from. (But you didn't really need us to know that, did you?).

The ingredients required to prepare those meals are loaded with sugar and saturated fat, which can make your arteries less efficient.

The thing about cheat meals is that besides their well-known and notorious disadvantages, they also bear some actual advantages. Please make an effort to expand your knowledge about them as well and consume them in the proper dosage.

By the way, later in this article, when we discuss the ideal storage solutions for all your food products, we will also teach you about the best way to store your 'cheat components.'

2. How To Get Them?

 

So once we figure out the food products that will most likely fill our fridge, such as fresh produce, dairy products, and staple items, the question arises: How do you get your hands on them?

Well, This is where the phrase 'Smart consumerism,' which means making informed and deliberate choices as a consumer, comes into play in the context of food shopping.

Be smart customers!

Smart shopping, while it may seem simple, is actually a complex and engaging challenge. It's not just about picking the right products, but also about navigating through the marketing tactics of big retail corporations.

You must figure out the best ways to do your food shopping. And remember! The big retail corporations are lurking around every corner with tempting marketing tricks and deals, leaving you with empty pockets and products you did not plan to buy and do not need.

But fear not - we're here to guide you through this maze of consumerism. Our expert advice will help you make informed choices and avoid falling into the traps of unnecessary purchases. 

 

Careful handling of this issue is undoubtedly one of the most important elements in our 'Home-Food Relations - Full Guide.'

 

 

Tip Number One.

 

Know your Needs!

 

Many of us make consumption mistakes because we're unclear about our needs. By gaining this clarity before we even set foot in the grocery store, we empower ourselves, take control of our shopping experience, and feel more confident in our choices.

Making a detailed list of what you need to shop for is essential. Once you've made the list, it's equally important to stick to it, even if you're tempted to buy something that's not on the list. This requires discipline, but it can help you avoid impulsive purchases and overspending, and it's a testament to your determination and focus.

 

Come prepared with a shopping list

Tip Number Two.

 

Pay Attention To The Fine Print.

 

American Bishop Fulton J. Sheen once said:

 

"The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away."

 

Overlooking the fine print can lead to more significant risks than just the total cost. It's crucial to pay attention to every detail.

Don't let the allure of flashy advertisements blind you. Be diligent and read everything, not just what they want you to read. Every detail can significantly impact your decision.

 

Knowledge is power!

 

By the way, there is no need to hate advertising companies. They are just doing their job of getting people to buy stuff they do not need at unreasonable costs.

Empower yourself by being a balanced consumer. It's your responsibility to ensure you're making informed decisions.

Tip Number Three.

Cash.

 

It's a well-established fact that paying with cash is the smarter choice when it comes to saving money. By using cash, you're in control of your spending and can avoid the pitfalls of credit card debt.

It's All About the Green

It's a simple strategy that can have a big impact on your finances. Just bring a set amount of cash when you go shopping, and you'll be less likely to overspend.

Tip Number Four.

 

Nightclubs - Good.

Customer Clubs - Bad.

 

When it comes to buying food, it's as simple as...surprise, surprise... buying food.

No complications are required; just take what you need and leave. It's a straightforward process that you can confidently navigate.

There's absolutely no need to join dubious customer/friend clubs that offer various 'benefits' in case you join them as a member.

They often come with hidden costs and commitments that may not be immediately apparent.… You're better off without them.

Trust us. Avoiding these Customer clubs will not only save you from hidden costs but also pay off financially in the end, making you feel secure and wise in your decisions. You can rest assured that you're making a financially sound choice by steering clear of these clubs.

 

Customer Clubs- You do not really need the

 

Remember! The best marketing minds are doing everything they can to keep you in the store for a few more minutes so that you buy things you don't need, like that extra pack of cookies just to meet the minimum purchase requirement for a discount.

The key to efficient shopping is a 'Laser focus.' Arrive with a clear intention, pay in cash, and head back home. That's all there is to it. By staying focused, you empower yourself to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary purchases.

Tip Number Five.

 

Conduct Market Research.

 

Empower yourself by taking a few moments to conduct some preliminary market research before your grocery shopping. It's easier than you think.

Today, there are many user-friendly tools that can help you conduct such research with just a few clicks. It's that simple.

 

 Comparing prices will save you a lot!

 

Discover the potential for significant savings by simply comparing prices. It's a motivating factor that can make a real difference in your budget.

 

 

Tip Number Six.

Buy Online.

 

The convenience of buying online, compared to physically going to the grocery store, is a game-changer. It's a time-saving and efficient option that saves you time, effort, and even fuel costs.

Let's look at some of these benefits:

 

Cheaper.

More comfortable.

Online shopping eliminates the need to search for parking, saving time and reducing fuel expenses.

Buying when you are still in your bed wearing pajamas.

With online shopping, finding all the products you need is as easy as a click of a mouse. No more wandering through aisles or struggling to find what

you're looking for. It's a streamlined process that saves you time and effort.

Online food stores have made significant strides in user-friendliness. They are designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, even for those who are not tech-savvy. This ensures a stress-free and enjoyable shopping experience.

If you're hesitant, start with a small order and gradually increase as you become more comfortable. This approach allows you to experience the benefits of online shopping without feeling overwhelmed. The convenience and savings are worth the initial effort.
