Where are you shopping? Forget the big supermarkets. Aldi and Lidl are where the "good" cheap food is. Why pay more?
•
Never buy branded goods. Why pay for a marketing campaign when you only want a full belly? Unbranded food is more or less exactly the same.
•
Stop buying ready meals. Get a cookbook and cook from scratch. I recommend Jamie's Ministry of Food if you want simple easy tasty wholesome stuff.
•
Invest in a larder of basic ingredients
•
Cook large batches of things and then freeze what you don't eat. You can buy foil takeaway trays for easy portioning and make sure you label what they are!
•
Chicken breast is really expensive. Buy turkey breast instead. In a curry or stirfry you can't tell the difference.
•
Slow cookers rock! They allow you to cook the cheaper (tougher) but always tastier cuts of meat like chump or braising steak. You prepare your meal the night before, set your timer and come home to a delicious tea.
•
Plan your meals rather than buy what you fancy. Seriously! I can tell you what we will be eating on any day of the week.
•
Enjoy cooking!
