With four kids and heaps who visit, we go through a fair amount of food at our place.

Snacks – buy a popcorn maker. They are usually under $30 and the popcorn is under $2 which makes up 4 -5 servings of a large packet of chips / doritos. The long term savings are great and the kids can experiment with flavours too!

Fresh made popcorn doesn’t need toppings it tastes great on it’s own.

On hot summer days there is nothing like pineapple punch – pass up the beroccas, if you are looking for a quick pick me up – combine a litre of pineapple juice, with a litre of mineral water and a small handful of mint – get ready for the buzz!

Another alternative for summer is slushies. Just pick up a big can of pineapple and orange juice, pour into ice trays, freeze and blend. Add a bit more juice to get it going.

This saves a fortune and if you can find a fruit delivery service, buy your fruit in bulk for lunches (apples / orange) split it up with a few friends – save your $$$$ and your back not having to carry it all in!

Have fun saving,

Marina

Look at the shelves above and below eye level as that’s often where they put the specials, or healthier products.

My suggestion is to go through a confectionary free checkout to avoid temptation!
