Research...shop around.

Home bargains I've found is best for cleaning products. Aldi for groceries, just don't go with a list, their products change daily. Local for fruit and veg, you can buy exactly the amount you need.

We boil a full kettle once in the morning and put what we don’t need in a flask. Can easily reheat a cup full in the microwave for a cuppa later in the day. I’ve started turning the washing machine down from 40o to 30o. Pre plan cooking and fill the oven when you’re switching it on. eg. Pop in some potatoes to bake which can be reheated in the microwave for dinner next day, or roast veg such as carrots or cauliflower rather than boiling them so you’re only using one heat sauce. And NEVER buy ice cream from a kiosk in the summer, find the nearest convenience store and buy a box of them from the freezer department.

I was wasting a lot of milk. So now I buy large bag of dried milk and make up and keep in small 750ml bottle. I use passata bottle so it feels nostalgic like having in an old milk bottle.

Ditch your tumble dryer, invest in a dehumidifier only heat the rooms you use, only put heating on when you need to, ditch the oven use an air fryer.

If your nipping to the shops for basics like milk and bread leave your purse and home and just keep a fiver in your phone case. You can't spend what you don't need too then.

When making anything with mince spaghetti Bol / chilli / cottage pie etc etc cut down on the mince and use lentils instead. Wish I’d have known this when my kids were little. Makes no difference to the flavour and the mince goes twice as far.
