Budget Hints

1. Use homebrand ingredients eg stock

2. Herbs n spices are your friends and I use alot in cooking. It's so much cheaper buying packets instead of bottles and then refill the bottles . I buy mine from the fruit market.

3. Try making your own bread to eat with soup n casseroles ect . I have previously posted an easy no knead bread that is so cheap to make.

4. Make double the recipe. Alot of foods are better the 2nd and 3rd days. You also save on time and power.

5. Look for the odd bunch veggies they are cheaper and exactly the same , sometimes just a little unique in looks but hey so are some if us.
