Description
🏠 Nan's Complete Notebook — 90+ pages of thrifty home wisdom: https://nanmargaret.shop/
Five pounds a week. That’s all I spend on food from November to March, and I eat better than most people I know. 🥬
My mum raised four of us through winters when there was nothing in the shops and nothing in the purse. She never once let us go hungry, and she never once bought anything fancy. What she did instead was work with the seasons, buy the cuts nobody else wanted, and waste absolutely nothing. I still do it exactly the same way, sixty years on.
In this video I walk you through the whole thing. The three ingredients I buy every single week without fail, the Sunday habit that turns one cheap joint into four dinners, and the old British way of using up every last scrap so nothing goes in the bin. 🍲 None of it is complicated. None of it needs special equipment. It just needs knowing what to buy and when to buy it, and that’s the part nobody teaches you anymore.
If your shopping bill has crept up and you want it back down again, this is where to start. 💷
Do you remember your mum or your nan doing any of this? Tell me below, I love hearing them. ❤️
