You don’t have to starve yourself to save money on food and you don’t have to give up occasional luxuries. Here are a few simple tips to help keep both your wallet and your tummy full!
- Save takeaways for special occasions only. If you’re short of time or want a treat, get something posh and easy from a supermarket. A premium ready-made pizza/curry/lasagna is still much cheaper (and healthier) from a supermarket!
- Be flexible at the supermarket. They change what is on offer every week, so take advantage of the current deals. Instead of going to buy a particular meal, have a few meals in mind and buy whichever is on offer. Another example is breakfast cereal - buy a different one depending on what is on offer, or just stock-up when your favourite one is finally on offer!
- Give no-name brands a chance! E.g. Supermarket own-brand tomato ketchup is just as good as the real thing but much cheaper! Another example is supermarket “value” tortilla chips in the plain packaging - just as good as the expensive ones!
- Make your own sandwiches for work. You may be surprised at how much you are currently spending on lunch per month if you add it up!
- Rather than buying an expensive afternoon snack at work each day, bring in packets of food to keep you going! Things like cereal bars, fruit, protein bars, sausage rolls, biscuits - they’re much cheaper from a supermarket!
Hopefully these tips will have the added bonus of helping you discover tastier, healthier foods as well. So enjoy and have fun!
