You can either create a weekly shopping list or get something everyday while returning home. If you know cooking you can even be a great host whenever your friends come over.

You may love to cook but don’t have time in which case, again, this is an affordable solution. The monthly cost would vary between Rs 2,500 to 3,000 maximum which in case of restaurants or hotels would be more than double.
