‘It makes a big difference’ Mum shares two simple tricks to save £470 on your food shop

Many Britons will be looking for ways to save money on the food shop which is one of the biggest household expenditures alongside energy bills. The average UK family spends over £470 a year on food that is thrown in the bin – money that could be put to better use elsewhere.

Natalia suggested: “Make a meal plan at the start of the week and stick to it.

“A lot of people will just buy whatever they fancy at the supermarket and inevitably end up wasting a lot of food because they haven’t thought about how they’ll use the ingredients they’ve bought.

“If you stick to a plan, you’ll only buy exactly what you need, and spend less.”

In addition, people can search for a food club near them and save up to £65 a month.
