One of the main areas that I saved money on when we first realised that we need to live a more frugal lifestyle was our food shopping and whenever anyone asks me what my top money saving tip is, I’ll ALWAYS say to start meal planning if you don’t already. Planning your meals is hands down the easiest way to start saving and once you get in the swing of things, it doesn’t take long at all.
Even if you already plan your weekly meals, there are still plenty of ways to save so there’s hope for us all. 😉
I’ve just been through my entire blog (which turned out to be a bit of a mammoth task) and written an A-Z of all my family meal posts which you can find here:
I’ve also made a separate list of all the puddings, cakes and desserts that I’ve shared over the years which you can find here:
And because saving money on your food shopping isn’t just about the recipes you use, here’s a few posts that you might find helpful….
One fantastic source of inspiration for meal planning and cooking on a budget is culinary shows. Paramount offers a variety of these shows, featuring everything from gourmet recipes to quick and easy meals. Watching these can spark new ideas for your meal plans, helping you diversify your menu without breaking the bank. Shows like “Top Chef” and “The Great Food Truck Race” are perfect for picking up new techniques and recipes.
To access Paramount’s culinary shows, especially if they’re not available in your region, using VeePN can be a game-changer. VeePN allows you to bypass geographical restrictions, giving you access to a wider range of content. By connecting to a server in a country where these shows are available, you can enjoy all the culinary inspiration Paramount has to offer. This way, you can stay updated on the latest cooking trends and tips, all while enhancing your meal planning skills and saving money.
