I have found a couple of ways I can save time cooking and instead use that time for important Netflix binges \/ revision!<\/p>\n<p>Solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meal prep &#8211; I can\u2019t stress enough how much this has saved my time. I now have a reputation in my flat for making enough curry for a family of ten and then freezing individual portions. This saves both time and money and your peace of mind when you know you have a curry waiting for you when you only have half an hour to get to sports practise!<\/li>\n<li>Online shopping &#8211; I have only recently discovered this, having shrugged it off as lazy in the past, I am now fully converted! For \u00a31 delivery at certain times you can\u2019t go wrong and its so satisfying collecting your shopping in your pyjamas without a walk into town!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1608\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054.png 960w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0004_DSC_1054-770x433.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>No money<\/h3>\n<p>Ah, the age old student problem! I so know that feeling of despair at the end of the month when you look in the cupboard, only to be greeted by a single onion and a tin of green lentils*. I feel on the whole I have been quite thrifty (how my dad would be proud) and have picked up a few tips on the way!<\/p>\n<p>Solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cheaper alternatives &#8211; Aldi is such a life saver when it comes to bargains! I have found their veg, cupboard food and freezer produce to be superior to other supermarkets with price difference considered! Well worth that little extra walk if you\u2019re struggling!<\/li>\n<li>Freeze &#8211; I am also known in my flat for having the fullest freezer drawer (I seem to have quite a few of these reputations building up\u2026). This is because I freeze my bread, meat and meal portions I have prepared in advance. This both saves time and money! I feel everyone can benefit from this, unless you are likely to eat a loaf of bread within a few days, and if that person is you, I would be interested in how you manage this?!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>*Can be substituted for any other food item which when on its own, is useless.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1607\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1.png 960w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/04\/LaurenAPRIL_0003_1-770x433.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><br \/>\nToo much waste<\/h3>\n<p>I have grown up with a strong disliking of waste. From my mum forcing me to eat the last spaghetti hoop from my plate (probably a slight exaggeration, but you get the gist) I have known that waste = bad. However, still before I have wasted half a family bag of carrots when I knew I only needed the one.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a friend &#8211; Find someone to share that family bag of carrots with! Get to know what foods your flatmates like and split the prices to save money and waste. Or take a flat trip to the supermarket and split items as you shop, as seen in our disposable camera evidence! (cover photo)<\/li>\n<li>Use by dates &#8211; (But know these are for supermarkets mainly, you can be a little more lenient). Choose the latest dates, even if that means picking the bag from the back of the shelf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, they are the most common problems I face as a self-catered student. I hope my solutions have been helpful and you never have the embarrassing stomach-rumble-in-lecture situation, which I wouldn\u2019t wish upon anyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a student, making sure you\u2019re well fed can be the least of your worries when you have a deadline for Friday and a desperately important sports social to attend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":437,"featured_media":1609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"lboro_blog_alternative_thumbnail_image":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design-school"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
