Cheap and easy meal ideas?!
I'm trying to save money on my food bill every week - I've managed to get it down to about ￡40 per week (for two people me and my boyfriend) but I know I could get it down even cheeper - I already buy economy and own brands at budget super markets!. I really think i could save more but I'm out of ideas on what to buy - has anyone got their weekly shopping down - what did you buy - what were your meals each day etc!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

We have also recently cut down our food bill by more than half!. I buy meat in bulk and freeze it in portions!. I also have been buying cheaper cuts of meat and slow cooking for curries or casseroles!.
I have noticed that the local fruit and veg shop is cheaper than the supermarkets and has better quality fresh produce!. The people there are also more helpful and let me know what is in season and what is good and cheap that week!.
We now only go to the supermarket once a month to get things we can't get at the fruit and veg shop and buy meat and toiletries and stuff in bulk!. This means we get discount for bulk and less trips to the supermarket means i buy less luxury items!.
We are saving heaps of money - eating healthier and don't feel at all like we are missing out on anything!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
