Find out how mum of three saved thousands of pounds on groceries
Healthy Mummy Sascha shares her family’s story. Find out how they now save THOUSANDS on their groceries each year.
“Two years ago we were spending WAY over our budget on groceries for our family!
I signed up to the Healthy Mummy’s 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge with the aim of not only losing weight but changing my lifestyle, I had no idea I would have more money in the bank each week and lose almost 4st.!
I put the reduction in our food bills down to meal planning, having a set shopping list, meal prepping AND customising the meal plans to totally suit our family.
How I save thousands of pounds on groceries thanks to The Healthy Mummy
Meal Planning
Meal planning has meant that we only hit the shops once or twice a week which minimises the chances of a binge shop, buying ‘what we feel like’ and buying ingredients that will go to waste. With meal planning, everything is accounted for and eaten!
I use The Healthy Mummy app to customise the meal plans which keeps us organised and on track!
Meal Prepping
I keep meal prepping simple by sticking to my plan – we often choose to double dinner so there are serves for lunch the next day! I pick about four snacks to alternate between and fill the rest in with yogurt, fruit, crackers and dip!
For snacks, we love the Brownie Bites, Courgette Muffins, Bounty Cupcakes and any Bliss Balls!!
Shopping List
Never go to the shops without a shopping list!! ONLY buy what’s on your list and even better – do an online shop to avoid temptation! The Healthy Mummy app literally has everything you need in one place – even the shopping list which generates from your customised meal plan!
Choosing similar ingredients when swapping around my plan has also helped with budgeting, mince goes further and can be used for a range of meals, a bag of carrots goes further filling out meal and salads and using tinned vegetable like lentils in a bolognese, for example, is a big money saver.
Each week we will have one vegetarian meal, a pizza night, a leftover dinner and lunch which all brings the budget down and makes sure everything is being used!!
We also try to have a super budget friendly meal that uses up whatever we have lying around in the fridge. The Broccoli, Spinach and Feta Frittata is PERFECT for this.
The savings add up each week and I’d estimate that we have saved at least a couple of thousand pounds per year, compared to what we used to spend!
The challenges really do change EVERY aspect of your life.”
