Have you ever wondered how you can slash your grocery bill without sacrificing taste or nutrition? Join me, Elizabeth Hambleton, on this exciting episode of Never Too Festive, where I share tried-and-tested tips from my extensive experience running a food pantry and shopping for 50 families each week. Discover how simple tweaks—like making meat a smaller component of your meals or using costlier ingredients more sparingly—can lead to significant savings. We’ll reshape traditional meal structures and introduce you to a world where every dollar counts, yet your meals remain delicious and healthy.

We also dive into the art of strategic grocery shopping and mindful meal planning to minimize food waste and maximize your budget.
