Cut out the convenience

Hi guys,

Today I wanted to pop on and give you some tips on how to cut your weekly food shops price down even if its just a small amount each time.

Often products are more expensive because of the extra time has been put into producing the food before it sells, by this I mean the product has been prepared so you can just pop it in the oven or put it in a pan to boil.

For example you could buy a packet of frozen roast potatoes for £2 or you could buy a bag of white potatoes for 95p and peel and cut them yourself.

Another way of saving extra money by cutting out convenience is make the marinate for yourself. Take chicken drumsticks as an example to buy them ready to eat it costs £3 for 430g or £2 when they are on offer. You can even buy a 900g pre marinated pack for £4 which seems like an okay price until your realise you could have got 1.2kg for £1.67 and then make your own marinate to your own taste.

If you are stretched for time then convenience food is a perfectly good way to make your day easier but it might just be a case of weighing up whether the extra pennies in your pocket is worth the extra time it takes.

Thanks for joining me on this journey! Hope to see you again soon.
