Hi all hope you are well, it’s been a crazy few years and being frugal is more important than ever with unemployment rising and the children being home 24/7 and constantly demanding food. I’ve been working hard to get our bills down and to eliminate the amount of food waste we create. I’m actually quite embarrassed to admit most of our money was going on food and stupidly I’d order a takeaway when we had a full fridge. Cancelling our weekly takeaway has saved us 30 quid a week.

• My first tip is to meal plan and stick to it. This is a new thing for me but I’ve found over the past three months has really helped to not only waste less food and money but is probably helping waistline too. This has saved us another £30 a week.

• Buy own brand where possible. Usually tastes the same or very similar to the bigger brands and you’ll also find the salt and sugar content may be lower too so double win really.

• Order online with your meal plan in tow and always check the cupboards before you shop. I’m guilty of having 6 packs of fish fingers in the freezer because I didn’t check.
• Shelf cook use what you have in and get creative before you go shopping im still trying to clear out the freezer and pantry. I think a no spend January challange might be the way to go.
• Finally always check the reduced section most things freeze really well (check the labels for guidelines.

That’s all from me this time comment below your top tips for saving money whilst food shopping. Thanks for stopping by Jade x
