Lowering the weekly shopping bill was one way to build in some slack to our very tight monthly budget. However with a little thought and some sensible planning we have been able to get our shopping bill down to around £30 a week, and thats for a family of four!
So our basic principles to getting the on top of food shopping are:
- Plan a menu
- Be creative
- Don't get hung up on labels or brands
- Where possible cook from scratch
- Avoid takeaways
- Take lunch to work / school
We tend to do the bulk of our shopping at Aldi, no matter how hard I look I struggle to find better value for money. One of the things I really like is that every week or two they change the offer fruit & veg range, so we just work those into our menu.
We have a couple of classics that we enjoy, pizza made with wraps rather than a dough base and a baked bean lasagne are both quick and tasty.
