How Shroom Burgers Are Inspiring Budget Cooking

By Frances Thomas


If you're interested in the latest developments in the world of cooking, there is one thing you won't have missed. Shroom burgers are the latest trend to hit the internet and the restaurants. One thing that people love is a recipe that they can adore and also make at home. You have exactly that with these burgers and there are a million different recipes you can use to make them, most of which are relatively cheap.

Anyone who is on a strict budget will know that meat is very expensive. Sometimes it can be so expensive that it forces people to become vegetarians, even without the strict morals. Even if you buy the cheapest meat available, it will still be one of the most expensive items in your basket, so it is no wonder that people are looking for cheaper alternatives to their favourite meaty meals.

Vegetables are not always the cheapest option available to us, especially if you opt for organic, but if you are a savvy shopper they don't need to break the bank. Find recipes that use lentils and beans to save money and reduce the amount of vegetables you use. This will also reduce any unnecessary waste. Try to avoid all the really cheap but unhealthy processed foods available to you.

Reducing waste is a great way to cut back on costs. All that food that you throw away, because you cooked too much or because it went off, is essentially money thrown away. Make a note of the type of thing you are having to throw away and cut back there. Does your bread often go off before you have a chance to eat it all, for example? If so, try freezing half the loaf or simply buying a smaller loaf.

Planning ahead and going to a large or budget store each week or fortnight is a wonderful way to save money. They often have much better deals and cheaper produce than the smaller stores and you will be less likely to be tempted by the deals than if you go shopping every day for what you need. They often have more variety, allowing you to get creative with your recipes.

Finding recipe ideas that are delicious but also low cost is the best way to save money on shopping. Vegetarian recipes are the cheapest, as long as they don't have too many unusual ingredients. Mushroom or vegetable burgers, for example, can be delicious and require relatively few ingredients. When combined with a batter and cheese filling, you will quickly forget all about the meat you are missing.

Once you have your meal plan in hand it is easier to batch cook. This saves a lot of money as you can buy things in bulk and freeze meals for another day. For people who get tired of eating the same meal several times a week, this is idea as they can cook a large serving of a meal and then freeze half of it for another week, when they fancy eating it again.

Budget cooking doesn't need to be vegetarian. However, excluding the most expensive item from the menu is often the easiest way to cut costs.
