[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1115982, member: 110645"] Do it yourself where possible, so grow your own veggies if you can or make friends with those who have a glut of courgettes :-) (we have the garden but I have a OH who manages to kill plants just by looking at them). buy flax seeds, desiccated coconut etc and blitz in food processor yourself to make flours. Frozen veg is usually cheaper than fresh and you get better portion control, frozen cauliflower makes great mash, frozen avocados make yummy chocolate mousse. I buy some items from lidl (don't have an ldi near us but would assume its the same) yogurt (full fat no dded sugar), protein rolls, ground almonds and coconut (grind further to make flour), vegetable of the week Shop around for low carb items such as eggs, cheese (buy big blocks then cut down into smaller portions and freeze), shop later in evening when items are reduced, make low carb soups etc from veg and freeze. Ask your friends!! I get very large (1kg tubs) of Merdian peanut butter from a friend who is part of a food club where they order in bulk from a wholesaler, its a fraction of the price compared to stores (I have kids who love peanut butter so can go through 2kg a month very easily!). I also get flours, herbs, spices etc at fraction of cost. maybe we need to form our own food club in each region :) [/QUOTE]
