Ways to save on food bills
It’s always a good ideas to look for ways to save on your supermarket weekly shop, regardless of where you go.
For example, there are cheap food clubs run by local community groups or charities floating around.
They’re different to food banks because you don’t need to be referred by anyone to join one.
These clubs link up with local supermarkets, who donate food nearing their sell-by date – they are usually run from public places, such as church halls.
There’s also food waste apps to make use of.
The Too Good To Go app, for instance, matches you with local food outlets that have food left at the end of the day to sell for less.
You pay from £1 to £7 for a ‘magic’ bag or box from a local business that contains a surprise mix of products.
Morrisons does a “Magic box’”, which usually costs around £3.09 and will contain at least £10 worth of food.
And don’t forget to check weekly offers – you’ll find new Specialbuy deals at Aldi every Thursday and Sunday which has deals on popular items you won’t want to miss.
