Christmas dinner is that special moment where all the family and friends get together to spend a pleasant time, sometimes the influx of people is quite large and the budget for a small family dinner is completely discarded and investing in a much larger dinner can become a real economic challenge.
Here are some economic tips to save on Christmas dinner without sacrificing taste or quality:
1. Plan ahead.
Make a detailed budget for dinner and stick to it, design a simple and balanced menu, prioritizing seasonal ingredients that are usually cheaper, calculate portions to avoid overbuying and wasting food.
2. Buy smart
Buy in bulk: Buy non-perishable ingredients such as spices or beverages in large quantities if it is cheaper, check brochures and offers in different supermarkets.
Simplify the menu
An economical main dish: Opt for alternatives such as chicken, pork or turkey instead of more expensive cuts, and make simple side dishes, purees, salads and rice are delicious and economical options.
4. Do it all from home
Prepare sauces, dressings and drinks at home to save money and customize flavors.
5. Avoid waste
Save leftovers in containers to eat the next day or freeze them, turn leftovers into new recipes, such as croquettes, casseroles or sandwiches.
With these strategies, you can enjoy a memorable holiday dinner without overspending. Merry Christmas!
