A very prosperous money saving year to all.
To get your finances in order, or start the New Year saving some money for the next celebration, switch from the supermarket to buying locally. Seasonal and local is cheaper and you will not be tempted by the BOGOFs and cheap DVD movies that will be on telly very soon.
You may already have noticed our “cheaper than the supermarket” flags on many icons on the BigBarn map, meaning that the producer or retailer is cheaper, normally on the products they produce. That’s not difficult when on average only 9p in every pound spent on food in the supermarket goes to the farmer.
All you have to do is find your local supplier and ask questions about price, quality and what is in season. Change to shopping locally every week, and if you have to, visit the supermarket once a month for the tins, washing powders, etc.
