Ten ways to save on food bills
Five great supermarket savers
Keep your kitchen bills to a minimum with these simple ideas.
1. Look out for bargains. When shopping at the supermarket, keep your eyes peeled for specials and bargains. Buy extra of whatever is on sale. Canned goods are especially good to stock up on because they have a long shelf life. Cereals, dried fruits, pasta, rice and dried beans can also be great buys.
2. Freeze it! Buy mince, chicken breasts and other frequently used meats in bulk and separate into individual portions. Wrap well and freeze for quick dinners.
3. Grate your own cheese. Instead of buying pre-grated cheese, purchase in bulk and grate the whole lot in one go to store in the refrigerator for whenever you need.
4. Make your own drinks. Instead of buying expensive fizzy and bottled drinks, buy canisters of powdered mixes to make your own lemonade, or fizzy pop.
5. Make homemade "fast food". Kids love McDonald's, KFC and the like, but they're unhealthy and very costly. Learn to make the kid's favourites from scratch and you will save loads of cash. Homemade pizza, for example, is much healthier easy to make at home and much more economical.
