Food budget help.

Hello

I am new to this money saving stuff but really need to cut my food budget, I notice on the debt free board they are always telling people to come here for help. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you

Hiya, welcome to Old Style!

You could give us an idea of the kinds of food you eat at the moment, what you like, where you shop etc and we can work from there.

You could also have a look at the mega index for ideas or some of the menu planners. I'll be back in a minute with links to help.

There were a lot of threads, so I've just given you a link to the titles. Click on the ones that interest you to see all the posts.

Wow thank you, we eat anything really so will have a good luck through those to start with.

Do what I did when I had a very tight budget. Put £20 or whatever it is in a purse and that's the grocery money for the week. Really concentrates the mind!
I now spend about £30 thats for 2 adults 3 kids, but I am that used to it now I keep track in my head, and go back to the separate purse if Ifeel I have 'lapsed'.
