Since the curfew was put in place at 6 p.m., we have all had to review our organization at home, especially for the races. We give you some tips so that you can organize yourself better, without stressing!
Before the 6 p.m. curfew was put in place, many of us went shopping between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Yes but that is now over! Now you have to readjust and find another organization. Delivery, drive … Here are several tips for doing your shopping efficiently!
Favor drive and delivery
If you don’t feel like taking on the world or just don’t have time for your groceries, consider the drive or home delivery! Since the start of the pandemic, these two faster and safer solutions have met with real success. With the drive, you choose the day and time you want to pick up your purchases. The little extra: it's free! Delivery is chargeable, but does not allow you to travel at all. Practical at the moment, especially when it's raining, it's cold and you are not being transported!
Avoid shopping during rush hours and days
With a curfew at 6 p.m., the French risk going massively to hypermarkets during rush hour, or on weekends, which could lead to crowds in stores. To avoid them, draw the line on the races on weekends! Try to go there on your lunch break, it's ideal for those who telecommute. You can also go early in the morning, it will inevitably be less crowded! Several large brands have announced that they are opening their stores earlier. This is the case for Système U, Auchan, Casino, Géant, which will open their doors around 7:30 or 8:00 am.
Plan your menus for a week
To save time and avoid going shopping two or three times a week, consider planning your menus for the whole week. It's organization, but you will find your way! And if you like to be super well organized, we can only advise you to get into batch cooking. The concept ? Spend two hours in the kitchen on weekends to anticipate all the meals of the week. This is a solution that also has many advantages:
- A great time saver. Instead of spending an hour cooking each night, batch cooking allows you to cook all your meals at once.
- Less waste. By planning your meals for the whole week, you also avoid waste. Since you only buy the ingredients you need for your recipes, you only use the foods you need and in the right amounts.
- Savings. With batch cooking, you also save money! Indeed, since you decide your menus for the whole week, your shopping list will then be all ready and will contain only what you need to cook.
- Varied and homemade meals. Batch cooker is healthy, seasonal eating. We forget the dishes already ready and we favor the homemade, you will see it is much better!
Learn how to cook leftovers
No need to throw away the rest of the raclette cheese, the unfortunate slice of ham or the three pieces of bacon lying around in your fridge! Consider adding them to a tart, quiche, flan or savory cake. We all have at least milk and eggs in our fridge and it's easy to do! Also consider pasta or rice, which you can very easily season with your leftovers. The ultra easy and tasty recipe we love: risotto.
