I used to spend a lot on food and nothing was really healthy. Every time I had a stressful day, a small fight with anyone could upset me and my first action was to order something sweet or indulgent. I slowly realised that besides my shopping, I was spending more than Rs 10, 000 on food every month which is a lot! So I started visiting the vegetable market on a weekly basis, stocked up on what all I would want to eat that week. I would whip up dishes by looking at my ancestral recipes or on YouTube. Sometimes, I would burn my food but still ate it because I worked hard on it. I would treat myself to fresh fruits that I bought at a cheaper price as compared to the society shop rates and quenched my sugar cravings. So instead of Rs 10K, I ended up spending just Rs 4K, which included all sorts of fruits and vegetables and oil. I ended up not just saving a lot but also losing weight. It is a proud feeling!
