SW on a budget

[watchmego]

Thanks I will give the frozen veg and fruit a proper go I think. Meal plan is the key for me, I do plan but just not carefully enough. Thanks for all the tips everyone

I'm a student so obviously only cooking meals for myself. Also with limited storage space to do any large amount of batch cooking or bulk buying.

AnnaFaraday, I can see how your approach would save you money. My main problem is that I plan and buy a week's worth of meals in one go, but then inevitably don't end up sticking to it. So naturally, food ends up wasted.

I think I should start doing the same as you and see how that works out. Following your approach might actually force me to think more carefully about how much food I buy. I tend to think 'oh that's cheap!' when I really should be thinking 'I'm unlikely to use all of that'.

Thanks for the good advice
