Budget Kitchen

Spend on what you use and make the most of the space you have.

A kitchen shopping list for your first apartment

Buy for the meals you will cook first, then fill the gaps you actually encounter.

Set aside money for groceries and small missing items before spending it all on equipment.

Compare the pieces you will use, not the number printed on the box.

Spend according to the job, the material and how often the tool will be used.

Use the shelf's comparison unit, then check whether you will finish the larger pack.

Choose dinners that share ingredients without becoming the same meal three times.

Frozen vegetables let you use a portion at a time, provided the package suits your meals.

The cheaper bag is not always the easier way to get dinner on the table.

A compact pantry is easier to use when its ingredients work together.

Choose seasonings from the food you cook before choosing a storage system.

Plan the weight and journey as carefully as the shopping list.

Agree on ownership before dividing the price of a shared appliance or pan.
