HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON MEALS: Intro to kitchen Budgeting/Meal Prep component strategy

I need to save as much money as possible in the kitchen. As a Chef keeping food costs down is probably 90% of our job. As I meal prep for the week, I want to give you an introduction to how I keep my costs low. There are many components to this so I plan on doing a whole series of videos on this subject, but I wanted to give you guys a general overview. Here are just a few basics about purchasing, meal prepping, and the importance of FIFO and standardized recipes.

When it comes to meal prep the slow cooker and rice cooker save me a lot of time. They are two tools that are relatively cheap. You can also find slow cookers at 2nd hand stores in perfectly good condition most of the time.
Remember your time is valuable. Pretend you work for your household if you pay yourself an hourly wage would the time it would take you to complete a task cost almost as much as the device that can do it for you? That's generally how I decide if it's worth buying something.
