In episode two of Mrs MummyPenny Talks Cost-of-Living with Much More With Less we talk about an essential subject, food. This is usually one of the biggest bills for families after their rent or mortgage and we look at the biggest savings for the least effort.

To start with, we look at switching supermarkets, a simple step to slash those bills.

Our food expert, Faith, talks about meal planning and shopping the contents of your freezers and cupboards. While Lynn, shares her hacks for spending less while you're actually in the supermarket.

The average UK family throws away £60 of food a month according to Love Food Hate Waste, so we take a look at ways you can reduce your own food waste

Next up is cooking from scratch, with tips for saving money on those nights when you really don't want to be in the kitchen. Plus take-aways vs. fake-aways, and whether the subscription boxes are worth it.

We talk about switching down brands, taste tests, and what to do when the kids just won't accept the Aldi brand 'Nutella'!

Lynn shares some articles she's written with tips on feeding your family for less. And, finally, we cover the options for those who are really struggling.
