Savvy Savers Are Making The Cut

10 ways to save on your bills & make extra cash

1 Plan meals and write a shopping list, then stick to it. That way you won’t be tempted by special offers that could prove to be wasteful if you don’t use the food. Plus, you will spend less time in the supermarket as you will be able to get around the shop quicker. Readers tell us this saves them from £10 to £20 on their weekly shop.

2 Use up any leftovers by freezing on the same day to use for another meal, or turn them into lunch the next day.

3 Cook slightly larger portions and freeze one to eat another day – it’s like a healthy ready meal. Plus, you can always bulk out a chilli or curry with a few extra vegetables when you defrost the extra portion to use.
