    Do you have any markets near you? Sometimes they can be a great way to get fresh local vegetables cheaply- eating what is in season and stocking up at a cheap pick-your-own can be a good way of cutting costs.

    My other half does the grocery shopping unfortunatly and she wont listen to common sense regarding cutbacks in this department, she just buys whatever she wants for her and the kids.

    I've told her not to buy anything for me, I'll save a bit by doing my own shopping. I'm eating cheap and healthy.
