If you think you spend too much time in the grocery store more than a few times during the week, this method is worth a shot.
A New York City chef has a simple solution called the "6:1 method."
Chef Will Coleman posted how to use this technique on TikTok. The video has received over a million views.
He suggests grabbing "six veggies, five fruits, four proteins, three starches, two sauces or spreads and one fun thing for yourself."

He says the method will cut costs, and you get better quality food items instead of paying for high-priced foods that are prepackaged or processed.
In an interview with "The Post," he explained he came up with the method from a need to streamline his shopping experience.
He says this will help reduce expenses and stop you from making unnecessary purchases.
It also goes a long way to alleviate food waste.
"I was frustrated with spending excessive time in stores, wasting groceries, and exceeding my budget. I designed this method to simplify the process and address these challenges." He says.
Coleman says the 6:1 method will also work for a larger family; you have to tweak it by grabbing a few more single items.
