Find Your Own Little Ways to Save Time

Do you have a slow stovetop? Put water on to boil before you take off your shoes. Disorganized? Pull out all your ingredients before you get started cooking. Spending all your time at the grocery store, no matter how quick the recipes are? Look into a grocery delivery service or save money by swapping shop times with a friend or neighbor.

And I’m going to throw this one out there even though I know some people (ahem, my sister) are going to gag. If you are buying nicer produce (hello, farmers markets!), a little bit of dirt won’t hurt you. I rinse my herbs and produce a lot less when I know they’re good-quality, and that actually is one of my biggest time-savers.
