Food prices are still skyrocketing and have grown by 15.4% although the overall inflation has decreased. Is it possible to eat well and well priced? At 11Onze we propose 11 dishes to get the most out of your budget.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Data from the INE (National Statistics Institute) reveal a fact that people had already noticed, for sure, when shopping: that food prices do not stop rising. This has caused, <\/span>according to the OCU<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>that 90% of the citizens modify their shopping habits<\/b>, that they buy 23% less food, that they have reduced by 18% the purchase of fruit and vegetables and that 3 out of 10 have limited the purchase of meat and fish.<\/span><\/p>\n

This may cause families’ diets to shift towards cheaper and perhaps less healthy purchases. <\/span>Reviewing the data<\/span><\/a>, there are basic products such as milk that have risen by 33.4%, eggs by 22.9% or potatoes by 18.9%. Meats went up between 13% and 25%, while legumes and vegetables went up between 11% and 15%. Fruit has risen by 4%, but it should be borne in mind that it is one of the most expensive products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freezing, the great ally<\/b><\/h3>\n

So what to do? There is a risk of tending to a diet based on processed foods, pasta and flour, which have better prices but are worse for our health. For this reason, it is advisable to take <\/span>advantage of the offers to buy in bulk<\/b>, which allows to reduce the cost per unit and to freeze the leftovers. Obviously, it is necessary to <\/span>take advantage of the offers of fresh meat and fish <\/b>at a discount due to a near expiration date, because we can freeze them directly. But this can also be done with other products. Cheeses such as cheddar or mozzarella can be frozen if you plan to use them for melting. You can also freeze butter, or boiled eggs. And as far as fruit is concerned, it is best to use it to make compote or cakes that can be frozen.<\/span><\/p>\n
