Episode notes

You've got to have a blend of both. I, even without the intention of trying to eat on a budget, will have a good selection of frozen foods in my freezer. There are differences in the nutrition value, but at the end of the day, it's definitely marginal differences and you're just going to be aware of what you think is your trade off as well.

Today we’re talking all about eating well on a budget and we’re covering a selection of topics including:

The cost of living and average costs of food shops in the UK
What healthy means and how we can achieve that on a budget
Quick wins and general rules of thumb for eating well for less
What I do before the shop, at the shop and during the week
Some of my favourite budget-friendly ingredients and also what not to cut corners on
Plus I dive into proteins, frozen vs fresh and how you could potentially save £1000s per year on your food bill
