Make Do & Cook: SAVVY SHOPPING

Shop and plan the smart way so you can enjoy delicious and nutritious meals on the smallest budget.

by Patricia Mansfield-Devine

Adapted from two chapters in Make Do & Cook, this free e-book shows you how you can start saving money on food even before you get into the kitchen.

A section on shopping is full of tips on what to look for in the shops, how to compare prices accurately, the best types of food, how not to get fooled by packaging and when not to skimp.

The e-book also gives advice on how to make sense of price points - when it's best to buy premium brands and when you're better of with a store's own-label or budget ranges.

There are tips, too, on seasonal shopping.

When it comes to planning meals and budgeting, Savvy Shopping helps you plan the week's food and shows you how it's best to manage your budget over the course of a month, rather than weekly or daily. And it discusses which foodstuffs should be your priority items when it comes to sticking to a budget.

Savvy Shopping will help you start saving money on your food bill straight away. And if you want to go further, and learn money-saving cooking tips and techniques, as well as benefiting from 100 delicious recipes, there's Make Do & Cook.
