Shopping for food for a family can be daunting. There’s so much to consider when it comes to food choices for the upcoming week and it can be hard to keep up with it all. With this pressure, it can be easy to end up spending a huge amount on the food shop which is another cause of stress. Here are some useful tips to help you save some money on food shopping.
Stock Up on Frozen Vegetables
Frozen vegetables are a great invention, as they allow veg to be kept way longer. They are frozen very soon after being picked, so all the goodness remains in them. They’re also often cheaper than fresh veg and can reduce food waste which is ultimately money being thrown away and is terrible environmentally.
Opt for Non-Branded Items
This may sound obvious, but so many of us still reach for the familiar brands we know and love. While these iconic products may well be tasty, the non-branded versions are usually just as nice and a fraction of the price.
Bulk Buy Dried Foods
In stores, you’ll often find packets of pasta and rice that are enormous and while they may seem impractical, they are way better value for money. They will keep in your food cupboard for ages and mean you’ll always have those ingredients ready to go.
