Check out bulk stores and coop retailers such as Azure Standard. Buying snacks when you are out and about not only adds to the food bill but easily to the waistline as well.

Once a week, set some time aside to make some easy snack options, such as my seed crackers or muesli slice. In-season produce not only tastes better, but it is cheaper too. Buy large amounts of in-season fruit, vegetables, and meat and freeze them.

My quick and easy swede mash makes the most of this seasonal root vegetable for example. Try new foods and seek alternatives to keep the budget in check. If oils and butter are too expensive, buy cream and make butter or render animal fats into lard or tallow.

If a bread maker, juicer, or yogurt maker helps keep the food budget down but the appliance is too expensive, check local op shops and online marketplaces. I bought each of those near new for a fraction of the original cost.

You can not only dial in the cost per serve to suit your budget, but you can also tailor it to your taste. Get together with some friends and take turns batch cooking freezer meals within a set budget for each other. You will receive a great selection of freezer meals for one large batch of cooking and everyone is winning.

Imperfect or close to expiry produce is often reduced in price while it will still meet your needs. Kombucha, kefir, and kimchi are all pretty expensive considering the cost of the raw ingredients.

Start fermenting some foods at home and your gut will be as happy as your wallet. Check out my easy red cabbage sauerkraut recipe.

Check with your local farmer if you can buy produce in bulk. Strike a deal and load your freezer with local and most likely organic produce for a fraction of in-store prices.

Even if you only have a balcony, some fresh potted herbs not only add extra flavor to your dishes, but are also much cheaper than buying fresh herbs in-store. Lettuces, radishes, and tomatoes are also worth growing if you have some more space.

Cheaper cuts of meat suit slow-cooking and are budget-friendly. A slow-cooked beef cheek beats a steak in my books. My slow-cooked lamb goulash is a great example. Check if you have a local Community Supported Agriculture CSA scheme in your area.

The quality of the produce is often much higher than store bought and the costs are often the same. Dressing, pesto , sauces, syrups, and dips easily eat into the food budget.

Make these condiments from scratch and save. My lemon cordial recipe is a good example. Previous generations have done it, they survived and thrived on lower budget and through periods of food shortages.

Ask your Gran for budget tips and please share them with me if they are not included in the list. A little bit of meat goes a long way.

This stovetop beef stew is an easy recipe to get started. Simply cut 1 cm slices off the roll and bake them. My chewy Anzac biscuits are a great example. Enjoy fresh cookies in under 20 minutes which leaves you plenty of time to cook another budget saver from scratch.

Revive the Sunday roast tradition by saving a special cut of meat for a special dinner such as my Moroccan lamb shanks. Add meat-free days to your meal plan and focus on quality rather than quantity of higher prices ingredients by eating less of them. Legumes such as beans, chickpeas, and lentils are much cheaper dried than buying them tinned.

Buy them in bulk and soak them in water overnight prior to cooking them. I know! Check out my Moka pot guide for brewing delicious coffee at home. Foraging, fishing, and hunting are great ways to keep the food budget in check.

Soft fruit in glass jars last much longer than in their original packaging. Lettuce and spinach last longer when a piece of kitchen towel or cloth placed in the bag. Check out offers on supermarket website and apps before you go if you can access them.

Are there any coupons? Once on supermarket email more offers related to your shopping will pop up. If you are going to make a list — stick to it. Knowing what is in your cupboards and freezer can help you avoid buying unnecessary items.

Use an app to save and share pantry list and shopping lists, lots of other useful features available too. Look beyond the middle shelf, less expensive brands tend to be on lower shelf on the left hand side. Frozen version of ingredients are often cheaper than fresh too.

Check out Trolley to compare supermarket prices and deals. Olio app is a great way to pick up free food in your local area. Tesco food waste champions are commonly registered on there.

Check out if there are any community fridges, Fare Share distribution centres or shops that can provide discounts or free food. Look up your local foodbank centre to receive emergency food parcel. Speak to local council for other schemes in your area.

Check to see if eligible to the HAF scheme if you have children to claim free meals and childcare in the holidays. Use common sense with regards to best before dates — use your senses. Generally the quality of food degrades rather than making you poorly. Use by dates require more care and could make you ill, especially if your fridge is not at optimum temperature under 5C.

Some ingredients such as milk and yoghurt have had there labels changed from use by to best before in some supermarkets.
