Food bills

MoneySavingExpert has a number of tips on helping to reduce your food bills when shopping at a supermarket. 

A number of organisations help reduce food waste by redistributing surplus fresh food. This food may need to be used quickly, but will be safe and healthy to eat and is typically cheaper or free to collect.

Apps like OLIO and Too Good To Go can help you find a range of surplus food in your area, often from cafes, restaurants or market stalls at closing time. The apps are free to download, and you can then browse surplus food in your local area.

BBC Goodfood have a range of healthy budget recipes to help you cut food costs more generally, and reducing the amount of food you throw away.

There are community cooking courses in London that you can join to learn how to make delicious, healthy meals for less than £1. For example, visit Bags of Taste website to join their cooking course.
