Money saving mum slashes the price of McDonald's and KFC by making her own 'fakeaways' 😲
A MONEY-SAVING mum-of-four slashes the cost of takeaways, including KFC and McDonald's, by more than half by making her own "fakeaways" at home.
Penny was also diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, and while she thankfully got the all-clear this year, her illness reinforced the importance of trying to eat more healthily.Of course, at home takeaways aren't always the healthiest but at least you knowl exactly what's gone into making them. When the burger is cooked, place sliced cheese on top and cover with a lid until it's melting. Then sit it on top of the filled bun and top with sliced gherkins.
"Make the reduce section your first point of call - don't forget you can frozen things and get them out later in the week to use."Penny also recommends looking for cheaper cuts of meat. She buys chicken thighs and drumsticks for just over £1 a box instead of breast meat for her KFC and that saves about £3.
"You get 5kg of vegetables for just £1.50. I use these in the fakeaways as the boxes often include potatoes, onions, and peppers." The mum also has a membership to wholesaler Costco through her partner's former employer and she says this is a good place to bag bulk bargains.
