There’s no getting around it: Food is expensive right now. It may be hard to stick to your budget but there are many ways to be resourceful with what you have without feeling as though you have your head just above water. These tips from budgeting experts can help you maximise your food budget.
It should go without saying, but cooking at home is almost always cheaper (and healthier!) in the long term than going out to eat or ordering in. To make it even easier on yourself, keep your pantry stocked with essentials to make quick, simple recipes: A fast pizza with store-bought dough, a stir-fry built on frozen vegetables or 15-minute quesadillas. Having a collection of recipes you love to make can curb the urge to call for delivery.
