 W hat do you think about Daisy's frugal fine dining? Let us know in the comments... Daisy said: "I've managed to get my shopping down to as little as £5 a month. "I've found that, combined with the things already in my cupboard and other things I'd collected, that it is more than enough to live off. "Now I only really buy the stuff that doesn't come up on the app as much, like eggs, yoghurts or ketchup." Explaining how the app works, she said: "You just sign up and food and non-food items will be listed near you. "If you see anything you like, you just send a message to the person offering it in the app saying, 'Can I have this please?' and then they give you a date and time to pick the items up. "I then cycle over to their house and collect the items. I say thank you, and that's it. It's as simple as that." Daisy has collected "lots and lots of food" like Greggs vegan sausage rolls, pineapples and vegetables. Her monthly food bill is just £5 a month ( PA Real Life) She said: "There's such a wide variety of food so every day is a surprise, really. If there's anything remotely expensive, I think it's so nice of people to list it on the app.){kind=link}
Daisy Berrington, a student, was looking for ways to save money and now she spends just £5 a month on food – by eating her neighbour’s food waste, including cream cheese, herbs, and wine
A cash-strapped student managed to reduce her food bill to just £5 a month – by eating her neighbour’s waste. Daisy Berrington, 19, was looking for ways to save money and realised the amount she was spending on food each month was massively draining her income.
Then she discovered an app called Olio, where people list food items they are thinking of throwing away for others in the community to collect for free. Daisy, who studies politics at the University of Manchester, downloaded the app in October 2021 and since then she’s managed to slash her food bills down to a pittance.
