Going back to how to save money on food:
- Don’t over buy food. Check what you have still in the cupboard.
- Use up everything that you do purchase.
- Create dishes which you can freeze with any leftovers.
- Cut out on luxury non essentials.
- Make extra dishes and give them away. OK, with that one, you are not saving but you may be helping someone.
