Buy cheaper non-branded items, to

replace branded items e.g. supermarket own

brand rather than Heinz Baked Beans

Shop at discount supermarket e.g. Aldi,

Lidl, Netto

Do without some items

Buy one get one freeLook for tokens,

vouchers and money-off discounts

Wait until the end of the day

Steal food from farmer’s fields

Get a piece of land e.g. allotment or start growing food in your garden rather than

flowers

Buy items from the ‘reduced aisle’: dented tins etc.

Visit the website which sells food past

its sell-by date http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/

Shop at a market rather than

supermarket

Stop buying organic food
