Hey folks, happy Monday!

I know we’re right in the middle of the Eat Out To Help Out scheme, but apart from this, what are your favourite ways to save money on food (groceries & eating out)?

Do you have any unusual/ quirky tips that help save you money?

And no, just eating less is not an option hahah

Tip #1 - eat someone else’s food 😉

I’m with you on this one! It depends on what the food is, but things like veg I don’t mind eating past their best date as long as they look ok!

I find that planning your meals and doing smaller shops helps with food waste too - I try not to buy any new food until I’ve eaten what I’ve got at home!

Also I’ve heard of this, but never used it. How is it? Easy to use?
