Reduced food is more available than you think especially in difficult times like this, the photos above are taken in Tesco today whilst I did my essential food shop. Supermarkets often reduce when the stock’s best before date is that same day or sometimes even the next day depending on when you go.
I would always recommend only buying what you need nothing more or less but sometimes reduced produce is freezable so its ideal to have some cheap goodies in the freezer for a later date.
Buying your bread reduced for example can last a week further than its sell by date as long as you keep it in a dark dry place away from any heat and make sure you keep a watchful eye on it. You can also freeze it in portions based on how much you would use in one day and simply defrost it the night before.
However, even though it may be reduced remember to only buy reduced as a tool and not to over shop.
Thanks for joining me on this saving journey, hope to see you again soon!
