Grow your own food. Get your seeds and plant them. You don't need much space, just a tub in a window will do. It's so simple and can save you over £400 a year on fresh fruits and vegatables.
Don't waste food. The causes are various. Simply cooking or preparing too much, and throwing away the surplus, is a prime cause. So is having to throw out fruit and vegetables because they've gone off. As is not eating food before it goes past its useby date.
And throwing it out costs the average home over £450 a year, rising to £700 for a family with children.
Eat traditional foods. Get back to basics. It will help you stay slim and healthy. I've always been interested in old, traditional recipes. Just last week, rather than throw out two pints of milk that were on the turn, I slung in a handful of rice, some sugar, and a twist of nutmeg to make a delicious old-fashioned rice pudding.
And the logic can't be denied: food that isn't eaten doesn't have to be bought. Especially if it's cakes, biscuits and other fatty and/or sugary snacks. For years, experts have told us about the health and fitness benefits of dieting now maybe it's time to point out the financial benefits, too.
