How can I save money on shopping?

Here are some of the suggestions made by students at the 2nd Bite of the Cherry event to help you save money on your shopping:

• “Don’t go for ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price’, you’ll waste the food and your money.”
• “Pasta + tin of tomatoes + bag of veg = loads of dinners!”
• “Get the tomato and basil crisps from Poundland, they’re cheap, tasty and low calories.”
• “Chocolate – 35p in Lidl.”
• “Don’t go to the shops hungry.”
• “Never go shopping when you’re hungry, you buy more!”
• “Don’t shop hungry or late at night!”
• “Buy sensible food for meals and not snacks!”
• “Don’t always go for brands.”
• “Compare shops to get the best deal and always get the best bargains.”
• “Try to use coupons.”
• “Use the food co-op at the Students’ Union.”
• “Go to Morrison’s.”
• "Buy pasta in bulk and make use of your Aber card in University food outlets (especially students in bunk rooms!)."
