- Substitutions of cheaper ingredients
- Packed lunches
- Meals that use less energy to cook
- Pressure cooking

- Sustainable foods
- Food you have grown yourself
- Meals from reduced food in the supermarket

Hi I’ve added the logo to the post, sorry I didn’t realise all the rules, is there anything else I need to do. I’ll be more mindful of them in future. Great link up though.
Wow! Such an amazing collection of new recipes to try! Thank you for sharing. I think I am going to start from the top with the tinned fish post!!!
such a good post to share tips 🙂 x
I think I have something for this – I shall be back to link up!
Thanks for the party in February again, I have added my slow cooker recipe of “Whole black lentil curry”
We’ve been pretty frugal this month, must look at entering!
Sounds good, will try to take part this month finally 🙂
With my husband training to be a barber full time at the moment, I have had to get frugal – last month I batch cooked lasange, cottage pie, chilli and homemade chicken nuggets for the freezer, as well as stocking my freezer up with various frozen vegetables, and other stuff – I spent far less than my usual shop and we actually have quite a lot less, which meant less work and less spending this month!
