Trying out different brands can aslo save a lot of money e.g. I used to buy alpro coconut soya milk which is often £1.80p but sainsbury's version is £0.85p. So I only get the alpro version when its only a £1.

I do this as well especially with popcorn as I’m not the biggest fan of the Aldi version 😂

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Yep exactly! That’s why I try to avoid the bakery section 😂

Shop online! You can change your items in your basket to suit your budget. I also stash Tesco points til November. I did this once and ended up with over £200 in free money. Currently have £75 saved 😬

I make my own salt popcorn and I buy the popcorn from my local ethic supermarket where it’s half the price of Holland and Barret. Coat the base of a pan with oil and some salt and one kernel deep with popcorn. Keep the lid on. Heat from cold shaking the pan whilst it heats up and pops. When the popping stops or slows right down plunge the base on cold water. Add melted butter. One enormous bowl costs about 5 pence to make. You will never pay a pound ever again. Oh and keep the lid on!

If there are certain things you buy regularly and are on offer, buy 2 rather than 1 if possible. I love a certain branded coffee and when not on offer it's £7.00, when on offer £4.50/£5.00. Also, if possible, don't do a shop in an express store. The prices if their items are more expensive compared to their larger stores elsewherex

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Really good points especially with the express store!

Top tip when shopping in store. I shop at Tesco so I don’t know if it’s every store. When shopping and you see a special offer - look closely at the special price tag closely. It shows you when the special runs out.

[@VeroniaSpaine]

That's such a good tip I didn't realise they actually include a date there!

[@angelwings1]

@@VeroniaSpaine yep! At the bottom of the specials label on the shelf.

[@ajulydreamer]

These are great tips, I always make a list and never shop when I am hungry

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Love that!

Use olio for free food and you help reduce food waste too

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Such a good point about Olio I really need to try it out!

[@elaibesummers906]

I have started looking in the reduce chill section when I shop. You sometimes can find bargains, take them home and put food straight in the freezer if you don't intend using it the same day. Great tips Veronia

[@VeroniaSpaine]

100%! I did this with my £10 challenge at Asda and it was a life saver!!

[@ElePranaityte]

Here is a trick I learned. Every time I pass a junk food isle or something is not on my list, I start reciting on repeat: "Lord, lead me not into temptation." Works like a charm. I am agnostic.

[@paulesp06]

I actually save money every time I diet, simply because I eat less 🤣 If I do an intermittent fast, I skip breakfast, and only have a lunch and light dinner. Not for everyone though!

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Yeah whenever I'm on a diet I find that I buy less too 😂

[@intergratedpurgatory1678]

Move over gordon, aunty v is here! Another tip is to consider what plate/bowl you will be eating you're food from. If you have a smaller dish you're less likely to over eat. Also buying sachet items can help as the serving is already provided for you.

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Such good points! The smaller dish also helps if you’re on a diet too!

[@intergratedpurgatory1678]

Once I started getting containers with different sections in, I became more mindful of how much I am consuming vs an open container where you will fill in the bowl and eat everything "not to waste money" but you actually are wasting money.

[@valsmith1231]

If I buy fresh food I have to buy just enough so it doesn’t get wasted!

[@VeroniaSpaine]

Yep I think that’s where planning your meals can become so useful!

[@Ipswichhammer]

Oh man that poor guy is gonna starve with only a handful of pasta shells in the box

[@VeroniaSpaine]

😂 Don't worry he's fed very well!

[@WRETCHVAGA]

[@VeroniaSpaine]
