3 steps to get your food budget under control (hacks no one talks about)

[@Intentional-frugality]

The one thing I have started this past month is keeping a price list for all the things that I buy on a regular base. I also have three freezers I inherited from my mom rest in peace. And I have decided one freezer will be for raw meats, one freezer will be for condiments and one freezer will be for my meal prep ready to eat foods and I absolutely plan on not buying anything that I don’t need this coming year.

That’s such a good idea to keep a price list, I need to do this as it’s hard to remember everything. Love the three freezers! My parents have two, one is a big box freezer for batch cooked foods which I think is a great idea.

Love your vids one thing I’ve found is it’s actually more economical to buy better quality meat for instance an Oakham extra large chicken from m&s is around £ 10-12 but will do for several meals whereas an Asda basic chicken is £5 but will only do one meal for a family.i also incorporate alot of organ meats and rabbit into our diet which is quite cheap. my friend buys a whole lamb, portioned out by a butcher and that will last her family for half a year in curry’s and roasts etc and works out economically.

I do love all your videos. I was watching the decluttering ones today too. Thank you for the content ❤️

Great tips! One way I minimize my food waste is by having regular days dedicated to using up leftovers, usually once a week on a day when I’m less likely to have time to cook. Stir fries or stone soup are great ways to repurpose those random scraps of ingredients (half a cup of ground beef here, 1/4 of an onion there) that aren’t enough on their own, and you can keep those scraps in the freezer until you have enough. 🍲 😊

Such a great idea, we can usually scrape together an omelette or soup with what we have 👍

I happy to say I don’t do takeaways and smart meal plan already

[@AuntieLouGA]

Helpful thank you 😊

Thank you Vicky for reminding of the how much food we waste. In 2025 the goal is to be intentional about food wastage instead of normalising it. I will be keeping a watch full of eye and mental note of what goes in that bin! That in turn should help with behaviour change.

[@TheMummyBubble]

Yes I think that makes a huge difference, then you can make changes based on what you learn about your habits 👍

I am saving in my freezer ,washed veg peelings,chicken bones, carcass or meat bones to make delicious soup.

[@TheMummyBubble]

Fantastic idea!

Do you know what happens when you use JAM DONUT but need a refund? Bought pyjamas from m&s but they aren't needed anymore and the cash back has appeared on my account already??

[@ElePranaityte]

Clickbait 😂 Of course, everybody talks about these tips. 😂

[@TheMummyBubble]

I agree things like meal planning come up often but not with an explanation of doing it to save. The simple act of creating a meal plan won’t save you money unless it’s done with a view to buying less food. Thanks for watching.
