1 Dinner Roster
If you’re in a commune set up, consider setting up a dinner timetable:

  • Get together and decide who cooks dinner every night of the week
  • Breakfast, lunch and weekends are “fend yourself”
  • Set a budget for meals and just make sure the portions are big enough

2 Food Specials
Look for meal specials at your local grocer such as Pick n Pay and deal nights at your favourite take-away spot such as Roman’s Pizza.

3 Cook & Freeze
If you have access to a freezer, consider cooking meals in bulk over the weekend and then freezing them. Bulk cooking also helps save money because of less wastage.

4 Convenience Costs
Great deals at your favourite takeaway place can be a great opportunity to save money and we all know it’s easier. However, don’t develop bad habits that disregard your health and don’t fuel your brain for collage work.
