Lucky I guess but noticed when I leave work at 4.30pm, I can get to the local sainsburys in 5 minutes and the amount of discounted food is crazy. I buy gbp 4.00 meals all the time for 99p then just freeze and eat for the next few weeks.

Good as long as you aren’t picky and will eat anything.

Freezer currently full of meat and ready made meals.

Go vegan!

Do you have some old receipts? If so you can go through them item by item to see how much stuff on there isn’t something you technically “need”. i.e. soda, ice cream, chips, energy drinks, etc. I’m not saying don’t ever get a treat for yourself but maybe you’re spending more on these things than you realize.

Then, like others have said, consider switching to off-brand foods and “shopping deals” i.e. I usually get broccoli but asparagus is on sale so I’ll get that this week instead.

This is kind of related but depending your housing situation maybe consider starting a veggie garden. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a salad for dinner made from veggies I 100% grew myself but sadly I have yet to do this V_V

Rice, beans, carrots, potatoes, slow cooker.

Have you identified what the most expensive food group or food category for you is? That can help us give you some direction.

For me, making beans in a pressure cooker instead of buying canned saved us a ton.

Buying bagged potatoes instead of frozen fries helped too.

Using a bread making made a difference.

Stocking up when actual good deals come up helps over time.
