Note that it's considered best practice to approve only the amount that you are planning to spend. Instead of approving and spending gas every single time before placing an order, you can approve a larger amount once and then place your orders with a reduced amount until your approved amount is exhausted. This way you will incurr gas fees for the approval transaction only once.
