Credit Crunch Munch May 2015

For this month I am delighted to be hosting Credit Crunch Munch, the place to find delicious frugal recipes and the brainchild of Helen from Fuss Free Flavours and Camilla from Fab Food 4 All.

Food that is in season is always good value, so you could base your recipe on or include foods that are in season in May: asparagus, rhubarb, new potatoes, lamb, watercress, spring onions, to name just a few.

Other money-saving ideas could be:

• Dishes using cheaper ingredients – cheap cuts of meat or vegetarian
• Meals using leftovers
• Meals using up the ends of packets
• Substitutions of cheaper ingredients
• Packed lunches
• Meals that use less energy to cook
• Pressure cooking
• Slow cooking
• Faster cooking – less oven time for example
• Batch cooking for the freezer
• Sustainable foods
• Food you have grown yourself
• Meals from reduced food in the supermarket
