Hello Claire, great to see you extending your pantry Where I live bugs can easily contaminate packets placed on the shelf With a plastic container holding pantry items, food sits safely in the containers on the shelf Twice as much can be stored, especially if 2 containers stacked together 0n one shelf Have you thought about a food Saver, sealing dried goods to extend their freshness The cheaper version here in half the price of official food Saver A couple in USA "Provident Preppers" have some lots of helpful suggestions Comment from : Debby Teisen

I went to a movie last weekend after lunch This theater serves food but pricey They don't carry hot tea But I was able to get hot water with lemon and use my own tea bags that I always carry in my purse I sometimes bring my own snacks Comment from : Gladys Chandler

I haven't been out to dinner in 2 months I occasionally get a coffee out Always get before heading out for the day and carry nuts in my purse or a nut bar Comment from : Gladys Chandler

I made a Pumpkin Veggie Stew from my pantry Pumpkin puree, black/red beans Had yesterday I'll have for tomorrow and have a container in the freezer for next week Comment from : Gladys Chandler

I make bone broth from leftover bones that I freeze and you in soups and stews Comment from : Gladys Chandler

Love the idea of fakeaways! I generally always have Indian bean & vegetable curries in my freezer from batch cooking Comment from : Lorraine OConnor

As a gardener I’m always interested in best harvest for least work! I’ve always grown herbs for fresh use but last year a dried everything I could Oregano, thymes, mints, dill These plants need almost no attention and yielded so many small jars of fresh-dried flavour, which I’m using all winter I dried about 70 teabags worth of mint leaves! What a saving! Thanks for good advice! Comment from : _ FatRabbit

Thank you Claire I always enjoy watching your content & I am obsessively looking at how to improve on budgeting, meal planning & short cut hacks as a full time working Mum Very down to earth approach which I really appreciate! Comment from : sazzlemuir

I buy meat in bulk when its reduced , My recent purchase I was lucky as the meat was reduced to a pound for large chickens, 50p large mince packs , pork different cuts a pound and some 50p , My freezer is packed full , Comment from : KatbalooahOo Meeooow

Top tip- vegetable saver bags They absorb the methane given off by vegetables so keep them in good condition longer I reuse mine for months!! They were exclusive to Lakeland a decade ago, now you get them on Amazon brHave a freezer list onthe doorbrDo the same on the pantry if you've got stuff you need to usebrbrA really good video, thank you Comment from : Amber At ArtiMec

I write down everything I spend I put it under food,treats, pet ,household ,chemist and miscellaneous etc gifts X Comment from : Wendy Wilson

My best tip is tuna Pattie’s once a week…yum Comment from : Barbara Hughes

Great video Claire Batch cooking is a real life saver isn't it?! There are just two of us these days but whenever I make a curry, chilli etc I always make four portions and freeze two of them This way you don't have to find extra time for batch cooking Comment from : Carolyn Wood

I hope all the 4 adults are taking their turn cooking meals Sausages and eggs is always quick and easy, no excuse for take away Comment from : Helen Hartley

Great reminder video for stretching your grocery budget I only get paid once a month Today I took $50 off my grocery budget for January It’s going to be tough but thankfully I was given gift cards for Christmas Comment from : Lisa Haffner

Tks Claire and happy new year! Meal planning on my phone has helped and saved so much Meal plan and make list underneath We're v seldom without our phones 😂 Comment from : Joan McKee

If you're new to growing herbs on the window sill you could try buying the supermarket potted one's first,I would recommend potting on to a slightly bigger pot and pinching out the growing tips this will make the plants bush out, you can also plant pea's on your window sill for the young shoots to be used in salads and stir frys, super easy to grow! I use the dried old fashioned pea's that are in a box that you soak before you eat Comment from : Kay Brain

Great video I’m wanting to try dehydration this year x Comment from : Jennifer Henderson

Canning is one of my new skills to learn this year as well! Comment from : Tricia Leone

Great ideas, thank you! Comment from : Tricia Leone

One of the best ways a person can use to is use government programs like food stamps like i dofood stamps is one way a person can beat the high cost of food right nowor buy a food saver and freeze yr food right away so it wont get freezer burnedand save it for later n when u see sales on meat, you can buy it and use yr food saver to freeze it for a later usethis has saved me alot of moneyin the long run Comment from : Arthur Mantzouris

One thing I have done for years is to use residual heat from your oven or hob to finish cooking food, might not save a lot but it all mount's up Comment from : Kay Brain

Thank you for sharing your tips I would say that using the slow cooker is a great way to cook as it saves you electricity as well as saves you time as you can cook everything in a pot 👍💕💕 Comment from : Kirsten Senior

I love to cook and bake It's been very helpful in saving so much money You can use your veg scraps alone to make veggie broth too Canning my own food has been amazing for my budget, but even more amazing for our life Having meals that are cooked and ready to go on my pantry shelf is a time saver and it's delicious! I don't know if you ever go to estate sales, but here in the US you can find almost anything for pennies on the dollar I think I paid $3 for my bread machine that came with the manual and a cookbook I have seen a lot of manual pressure canners, jars, water bath canners Thrift shops are also great for that If you have a friend that also wishes to can, maybe split the cost and take turns with it Have to get creative! Love that you are helping others Comment from : allyroo H

Batch cooking is top of my agenda for 2023 After being at work I literally can’t be bothered to cook! Comment from : Sara Walker

Ive realized that I have been almost obsessive with getting sales for my small chest freezer Now that it is full I can ride out a bit and buse what I have/b to save I still will get one or two extra if something is a loss leader /amazing sale but over the months I have really done the hard work and already spent the money Time to coast a little bit Comment from : buzzybee186

Go vegetarian We save a fortune now we no longer eat meet Comment from : No Name

Fantastic video Claire Comment from : Frugal Queen in France

Really good video abd good sound advice for any1 who needs the tips/advice I've always meal planned, made my meals from scratch, froze extra portions as waste food is 1 of my pet hates, there's no need to waste food But I agree with you on the budget front, you say you git food budget of x amount but when u lookback its a few pounds here, a few more pounds there & it does all add up without realising it dosent it I'm a diet coke fan so instead of buying cans from the shop at work ( very expensive at £120 can, so that would be £6 week which is outrageous) I really like lidls diet coke which is less than 50p a big bottle, take It to work, lasts me a week or more Just little changes really add up Comment from : karen pridmore

Claire, I really want to thank you for your videos I am currently sick, so I had time to watch all of them and I am so happy that I did So many great tips and recipes I only cook for two people and in 2023 I really want to spend less money on food/takeaways and do something about our food waste (I think I am already improving but I still have some areas I need to work on - fresh veggies and dairy are my problematic areas) Can't wait for your 2023 videos! brMy biggest tip is to not buy food you don't know what to do with (even if it is really cheap) I have loads of stuff like that in my pantry (I really need to use them up next year) :D Comment from : Lucienne

Thank you Claire your tips I love listening to My budget will be lower next year everything is so expensive I want to learn how to stretch my meals even further Thank you for all the wonderful videos you put out🇦🇺🦘❤️💜 Comment from : Maggy Trafford

Thankyou Claire, love all tips that save money, groceries, electric, gas whatever you can throw at me, the one thing i have been doing is trying to add things to my shopping order that is on offer and something we use all the time, Thankyou, hope you have a brilliant New Year x Comment from : Denise Conaway

I really love your amazing practical tips on how to save on everyone's penny Maybe putting up a little Restaurant serving the daily meal at home might be practical because good leftovers can be taken home for our family's meal In the end, we might be not spending more Anyway,thank you for sharing your tips Comment from : Will Garcia Zapanta

Very good advice ,I’m a retired women chef This is sound advice Comment from : solange leblanc

I worked for two attorneys in DC I was the children's nanny, cook, etc Mom had a one year, I swear, one year of meals written out on a calendar What was in season coordinated with meal plans I ordered groceries, in season, from her pre-planned meals every week I've never seen that again She didn't repeat monthly meals, (I would) anyway, smart lady Her meals were well balanced, healthy, and creative 🤤🤤🤤 Comment from : linda Davis

I just watched a great video from Cheryl in Scotland Her channel is called What's for Tea She did a Creamy Garlic Pasta in her crockpot Give that a try also Very easy and looked inexpensive Comment from : Susan Jacks

I really do need to reduce my food spend Until my daughter went to Uni, I was spending £100+ weekbrNow it's just me and my 11 year old son and I still spend between £65 - £80plus I spend an extra £30 to £40 buying my son's meat from the butcherI'm vegetarian brI buy a decent amount of fruit and veg and I've noticed on a lot of other frugal channels that people buy very little fruit and vegbrI can spend £20 alone on fruit and veg What do you lovely ladies do to keep your prices low and any solutions re the amount I spend on fruit and veg (They must be in my weekly shop) Comment from : Lo Chamb123

In the US at least right now squashes are abundant and generally reasonably priced I store several in my basement in a milk crate with newspaper bunched up around them They keep for weeks The same for potatoes and apples It's nice because I can stock up when the price is good and draw on that for weeks Keep and eye on them If they start to turn, cook them up and freeze the Applesauce can be frozen or water bath canned which honestly is very easy Comment from : Pikayla

Freeze every bit of leftovers which aren’t eaten brEventually you get enough to have a full buffet style mealbrEven if only a spoonful each brIt’s also a Free meal as all previously costed Comment from : Maisie Clark

I have been buying markdown meat for many years at a fraction of the regular cost at the store so I plan my meals around what meat I find this works best for me Comment from : Debbie Frampton

These videos are so needed!!! Even if u repeat tips, it's fine, we all need reminders to help us stay on track! Comment from : Kristie Price

Claire, wonderful tips I especially like the 11th I always like to think, when doing something new or challenging, that we can eat an elephant, one bite at a time Because of necessity, I have taught myself, over the years, to make my own bread, by hand and machine, to make my own noodles, to use a water bath canner and a pressure canner A few things that have truly saved our grocery budget, were the making our own bread, which with the best ingredients I can afford comes to about 100 per loaf, more if I use bread and eggs, but still under 175 And, iced tea My husband loves unsweetened iced tea When we started our journey, just making our own bread and tea saved our grocery budget about 1200 to 1500 dollars per week! Think outside the box, hopefully this won't last forever, but if it does, with wonderful help from our friends, like you Claire, we will all be fine Happy New Year! Catherine Comment from : My Hillside Garden

For those who garden, when you weed your garden check which “weeds” are edible Could be you are throwing out good salad food or green that could be put in casseroles or meat pies Comment from : Kenyon Bissett

Learning to plant garden veggies from seed Comment from : GypsyLife

I found it funny when I batched cookedlets say waffles my granddaughter didn't think you could freeze them As I told her anything you can buy frozen, can be made and frozen very good advice! Comment from : melanie nicholson

Fantastic tips! My family is going into a low spin know it’s been year for 2023 and I have a really good overstock, prepper pantry! This is helped us for the last eight months here in the United States Word off a lot of inflation because we’ve been eating off of our preps! Rolling into months number nine more really going to do our best to lower our grocery budget astronomically and we can do this because of the backstock we already have! Hoping to move to northern France or southern England in the future Absolutely love your channel Comment from : Without Limits Budgets With AarynLynn

One thing that I have learned over the years (you have to have an open mind at first because it is different than what I was used to) is try ethnically diverse food recipes since they can be cheaper I have made sweet potato roti instead of white bread for my meals I have also made Russian style beet soup (learned how on Youtube!) What I am trying to say is each and every culture has different food stuffs that are cheap and flavorful Learning from these cultures from videos has made my cooking more enjoyable and less of a drudgery Globally we are all in the same boat and we all have so much to share! I am from America but I have been learning so much from y'all in Great Britian! Being frugal should not be a sad time it should be fun and a challenge! The people from Great Britain have been through so much worse than this Please show the rest of us how you do it so brilliantly! England is so STRONG 💪never give up! Comment from : Sharon Neth

The sad part of supermarkets is how much they chuck in the bin, i work at sainsburys & there is alot of waste & customers still end up paying for food 😫 Comment from : Joshglos

Great tips Claire Thank you very much! I love your videos X Comment from : LH

I hope you really enjoy canning your own food I was fortunate to be taught when I was a child, helping my Mum make jam from the peach tree in our back yard and have been doing it all my life One way to save money on the equipment that I would recommend is to simply tell everyone you know that you want to get into this I think you will be surprised by the number of free jars that come your way People ae ALWAYS giving me jars, I haven't bought any in years! Now, I am in the US where I know that canning is more popular, so this may not work in your area but it is worth giving a try Check your library for books and there are also loads of on-line resources Stat out with things that are just Boiling Water Bath canned and you will not need any special equipment, just a big stock pot that is higher than the height of your jars Also, can what you like when it is in season I wish I lived closer and could give you jars! Comment from : Ruth Gallot

And from pita( Kebab) bread,we make ,with rests( Salami,cheese,etcetera),little pizza'sour sons Love it👍 Comment from : marianne westen

Something my family has found helpful this past year is buying directly from local farmers For example, we live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and eggs are super expensive here We reached out to a local chicken farmer and agreed to purchase 60 eggs from her every other week Because of this we get them at a song and she delivers! Comment from : Eryn Beth Rinehart
