Posted on | September 30, 2008 |

Everyone is being more careful about what they spend on food, so it is also important to try and make the food you do buy last longer than usual. Here are my top tips for making various foods last longer.

Pad out meals with vegetables - Rather than using a large ammount of meat or fish in a meal, try cutting back on the ammount you put in and try to replace some of it with vegetabeles. Vegetables such as carrots, peppers, corgettes are all very easy t oadd to many dishes.
Use leftovers for meals or lunches next day - If you make too much, or have some leftover ingredients the day after a meal, try to use them up in the next meal you make rather than throwing them out. Making larger portions of meals will also allow you to take them for lunch the next day, stopping you having to make a lunch from separate ingredients.
Plan your meals ahead - Buy planning what you are going to eat for the week ahead, you will be more efficient in using ingredients.
