Cost of living: ‘Don’t be afraid to ask for help’
Lorna Cooper, who runs a Facebook page aimed at helping parents feed their family for £20 a week, says that it’s important to “ask for help if you’re struggling”.
Speaking to 5 Live, she recommended searching for food locally in places like community markets, pantries, foodbanks, organisations, and charities.
Her top tips for saving on food bills include planning meals ahead, writing a shopping list, recording how much items cost, eating seasonally, and making your sauces from scratch.
