Investing In Food

Groceries are one of the largest items in my budget. Luckly in most months I stay within my budget and I can eat healthy and guilty pleasure food. When I have to save money I most of the time look at my groceries, because there is almost always a way to save in the groceries I buy. This year I decided that my company Databeet is not paying for food anymore, although it is allowed by tax law to deduct around 80 percent when eating during work at work for self-employed people. This saves me lots of administration time and I also freed up money to do other things with or to buy healthier food with.

Investing In Food By Making A Grocerie List

I like lists I can cross off items when they are done or with a grocery list when the item is bought. I am trying to get to paperless, but I don't think I will reach this in my lifetime on earth. Nothing better than pen and paper to cross off the bought items or items done. By making a grocery list I am almost every time near my in advance budgeted amount I want to spend on groceries.

Investing In Food By Blogging About Food

During the COVID-lockdowns I had time and got a gig to blog about the vegetarian recipe book '4 Weken Vega' and I had a barterdeal with a Instagram cooking class. I also tried making some family recipes from Curaçao, I had the time. I like good food and was during my travels surprised how obsessed Singapore is with food. Food from all over Asia can be found there in the ethnic neighborhoods. Food is to them like the weather is to the Dutch.

Investing In Food Through Courses

On the internet there are lots of free courses about food. I did some about hygiene, food composition and how to prepare, etc. The food courses I learned the most from are the Sport & Voeding (Sport & Food) ecourse  with Laudius and the grocery ecourse (boodschappen cursus) with Porterenee. They made me think about the food I serve myself and prepare for myself. Also the moment I eat. I changed my breakfast and dinner which makes me have more energy during the day, less muscular cramps and much less pain during menstruation.

Investing In Food Through Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is part of my investment portfolio. This is not an advice. I only invest with money I can miss and I also have saving accounts. When I was looking to investment in crowdfunding I also looked at the food crowdfunding options. I invested with small amounts in a few farms in The Netherlands and in some food places where zzp’ers are allowed to drink tea, eat something and work on their laptop.
