As a single millennial living alone in one of the most expensive cities in the world, feeding myself can be hard.
There are so many bad eating habits I’m prone to falling into without adult supervision (yes, I do realise I AM an adult, but I am still slightly in denial).
Nightly Uber Eats, subsisting on Mi Goreng, cereal, or ice cream for dinner, buying lunch at work everyday, drunk Maccas, hungover Maccas, Wednesday night Maccas… the list is endless.
A list that, time after time, results in me feeling sluggish and well, gross, as well as getting to the end of the week and realising I have…no money.
Enter “vegetable/protein of the week” – a thrifty food shopping game I’ve adopted into my mid-20s which has quite literally changed my life.

I used to do the same when I was i was single. Buy a protein, cook 3 or 4 different meals and have them for the rest of the week. It meant when I came home late from work I never had to think about cooking or washing up, but I still had a nice home cooked meal. I used to love to do curries, pastas, stirfries and soups. I saved A LOT of money that way.
