How to Halve Your Weekly Food Bill - Part 1

I am sure that you already know that simple changes can actually halve your weekly food bill - but where do you start?

It may seem a chore at first, and may seem as though it is extending your shopping time, but never fear, with patience and diligence, selective shopping, will soon come as second nature to you.

Milk                 
Buying in bulk is a great way to save. One pint of milk can cost 45p, while a six pinter is £2.25. If you have enough room in your fridge, buy the larger size. You will find a hundred and one uses of milk in the kitchen, it will not go to waste. Most milk has a good shelf life and did you know - you can actually freeze milk!

Low-fat Spread       
Many of us use spreads rather than butter.
My mother loves butter, as that is what she was brought up on in the 60's.
There was Stork Margarine,  Echo Margarine or Butter, that wasit, they where the only choice in those days. There is so much choice now and it can be rather confusing, and prices can vary enormously.
 
A 500g of Flora Light is £1.40, compared to a huge £3.80 for Flora Proactiv.
It is definitely worth taking  the time to find the most healthy spread for you and your family at a reasonable price.
