Save some extra cash this summer with these expert tips and tricks to ensure you save money on the food bills over the holidays
School's out for summer – and many families are already worrying about the higher costs they'll face over the coming six weeks. While some are concerned about the money they'll need to splash out on activities over the holidays, others face spending more on the food shop.
Kids eat free Many UK restaurants, pubs and supermarkets are offering special deals over the summer holidays – where kids can eat for free, or less, usually with the purchase of an adult main meal. Another kids eat free deal for summer 2024 is Beefeater, Table Table and Brewers Fayre restaurants. Here, two kids under 16 eat free with every adult all-you-can-eat breakfast.
This entitles any adult or child to a free bowl of either Coco Pops, Cornflakes or Rice Krispies, a choice of dairy or non-dairy milk and a piece of fruit ... for free.Batch cook meals Batch cooking meals, then freezing them for a later day, often works out way cheaper than cooking from scratch.If your kids prefer fresh food – eg pasta – use the time to make a batch of tomato sauce with hidden veggies, and store these away for when you just don't fancy cooking.
So, why not make your own Happy Meal by cooking some chicken nuggets and chips. Serve them up in reused McDonald's packaging , with a budget toy and a Fruit Shoot for the authentic touch. While you can often pick up a giant bag of these two items for far less than the same amount would cost you in smaller packets, multi-buy offers may also come in handy.Ditch the brands Swapping out bigger brands for own-brands or cheaper food items will also save you a whole wad of cash.
