Brits can slash food costs with cooking hacks – including ditching fresh veg

EXPERTS have revealed clever cooking hacks to help the family budget go further as the cost-of-living crisis deepens.

Lee Williams, a culinary expert, recommends buying different cuts of meats, batch-cooking meals, and adding different seasonings to create many meals from one base.

Other smart hacks include ditching fresh veg for frozen, bulking meals out with vegetables, and making delicious spicy soups out of leftovers.

His advice comes after a study of 2,000 adults found 46% admit to eating the same meals day in and day out, with 59% bored of money-saving dinners.

And due to feeling the pinch financially, 46% are compromising on the produce they purchase, missing out on flavoursome dishes they wish they were serving up.
