Grow your own food. You don't need a large garden for it. You can grow most things in pots and bags on a balcony. It saves money, is healthier and better for the planet ![]() |

Also: combine car journeys. I very rarely go somewhere in the car without also combining other things like food shopping, dentist, petrol, meeting friends... And again added bonus: better for the environment as you do fewer miles.

Celery & spring onions can be placed in a cup of water to help keep them fresh and they will grow more produce.

I picked up a fruit and veg box at Lidl's today, good to see the price is still £1.50. Great value, bananas, grapes, melon, peppers, new potatoes and about 40 Clementines. Just been to the dentist and can't eat any of them right now. 😞 |

I'm just back from Lidl with a £1.50 box. Quite a few goodies, a lot of onions and some broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, an avocado, some plums, carrots, half a cucumber and some satsumas. And some exercise thrown in carrying it home.

Those fruit and vegetable boxes really are great value. I picked up another one last week.

We’ve recently been using our slow cooker to cook chicken, and yesterday cooked a loaf of bread in it.

I've done bread in the slow cooker before but I am not sure if it's cheaper to buy ingredients and make yourself as buy?
