'How you can easily feed your family of four for £30 a week in 2022 with my tips and simple meal-planner'
I always do an inventory of my kitchen before I leave for the supermarket so I don’t end up shopping for things I already own.
So many of us are guilty of buying fresh ingredients with the intention of only using them in one meal, only for them to make their way into the bin. Some 40 per cent of our household waste is fruit and vegetables and bags of spinach are often stuffed so full even the biggest family would struggle to get through it before it wilts and no one wants broccoli with every meal.When it comes to leafy greens, take them out of the bag and wrap them in a paper towel so that it absorbs some of the water.
Frozen spinach is a Godsend for chucking straight into a pasta dish or curry without even needing to thaw it. Root veggies such as sweet potato or butternut squash are also really good in curries and they last for ages. Fruit pots for example often work out about £3 per portion whereas £3 could buy you enough apples to last the school week and beyond.But if you are struggling please do ask for the free school meals if you need them, they’re there to be used. You can apply for free school meals at gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals
For instance a can of Blue Dragon coconut milk will set you back £2 but Island Sun coconut milk from the world food aisle is just 79p. As with many things supermarkets will often hike the price point of products up so that when the price comes down it seems like they’re discounted when really cheaper versions already existed.
