It’s so important that you know what you have in your fridge, freezer and pantry so that you don’t buy more than you need. Most of the time we work off the same shopping list every week, we might alter the recipes or meals we use but the bulk of our food shop stays the same.
My Top Tip:
Make a list for your shopping based off all the meals you have planned and try not to stray off this list if possible but try to include some tasty treats that will cure your cravings when you need them.
Once you’ve done your food shop make a list of the things you have in and how much of each item so that you don’t over buy. If you can’t find the time an easy tip is to always keep your shopping list and use that as a guide; this way you can underline the items you have used so you know whats worth buying again.
This is a key change my partner and I made, we ran the rule of you don’t use it you lose it! meaning you won’t buy it the following week. We found it to makes us healthier and spend a lot less money because of it.
Thank you for joining me on our saving journey! Hope to see you again.
