How Shroom Burgers Are Inspiring Budget Cooking

By Frances Thomas


There is always something new coming out of the food industry and it can be difficult to keep up to speed with the latest trends. One that caught our eye recently is shroom burgers. Despite the illicit connotations, these have no hallucinatory effects and are simply a mushroom in the form of a burger. Whether it forms the bun or as a substitute for the meat inside, they are becoming increasingly popular.

Everyone knows that meat is expensive, even if you buy the cheapest type available to you. However, noone wants to eat cheap meat because of how it is raised and how inferior the taste is, so the next best thing is to find inventive recipes that do not need meat. Vegetarian recipes can be extremely tasty and surprising if you do a little hunting.

Vegetables are not always the cheapest option available to us, especially if you opt for organic, but if you are a savvy shopper they don't need to break the bank. Find recipes that use lentils and beans to save money and reduce the amount of vegetables you use. This will also reduce any unnecessary waste. Try to avoid all the really cheap but unhealthy processed foods available to you.

One way to cut back on cost is to ensure that you waste as little food as possible. This is particularly the case with fruit and vegetables as they have a very short lifespan. Some of the cheaper stores for fruit and veg often offer produce with the shortest lifespan, so this is an important consideration. However, if you look in people's waste, it is often a mixture of food that has expired and food that people simply don't want anymore.

Planning out the meals for the week and doing a big shop is a good way to save money and budget each week. You will quickly get to grips with how much money you need each month for food and find ways to cut back wherever you can, without feeling like you are restricted. Avoiding daily shopping will save a great deal of money each week.

If you have a large family and find it difficult to satisfy everyone, sometimes meal planning can be something that you dread. Trying to find new and exciting recipes that might please everyone is a way to get the passion back into the kitchen and make cooking a fun task again. Find recipes that will take people by surprise.

Batch cooking is an easy technique to help your budget. Cook more than you need for one meal and freeze the rest for another day when you need it. This can be used whether you live alone or have a large family. Simply freeze it in individual servings or in a large pan, depending on when and how you need it. It also allows you to have easy access to a variety of meals so you don't get bored with eating the same thing all the time.

It is possible to eat meat on a budget if you plan ahead and are careful with any food that might potentially be wasted. Eating smaller amounts of meat and adding more vegetables is a good way to cut costs without cutting out meat. Some people do not feel like they have had a proper meal unless there is some form of meat on their plate. So this is a good option for them.
