@thefinancialfreedomgirl: I tried the Costco sashimi hack so you don’t have to 🍣 (Spoiler: it actually worked and I saved a ton of money. 🤑) Here’s how I did it: Step 1 — Grab a piece of Costco farmed Atlantic salmon & cut it into slices (I immediately froze 30% of it for future meals) Step 2 — Mix equal parts salt & sugar (50/50) and coat your salmon generously with the mix (this helps draw out water) Step 3 — Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes — the cure draws out moisture and firms up the fish (put a paper towel under your fish - I didn’t do that and it made a mess 🙃) Step 4 — Rinse off all the salt & sugar under cold water Step 5 — Pat it completely dry Step 6 — Slice and eat like sashimi or nigiri 🔪 The result? Restaurant-quality sashimi at a fraction of the price! The cure firms up the texture and the flavor was genuinely incredible. I added rice (mixed with rice vinegar, salt, and sugar), avocado, and masago into the meal to elevate it. Would I do this again? Absolutely 😛🍣 I’d say this money saving hack was a success Save this if you want to try it and let me know what money-saving hack I should try next! #savingmoney #moneyhack #PersonalFinance #financialfreedom #Budgeting
