Delicious healthy dinner that feeds a family of four for just 50p a head & it takes 10 minutes to make

A SAVVY shopper has revealed how she keeps her food costs down to feed four people for just 50p a head per meal. 26-year-old Scottish lass, only known as The Finance Gurl, took to TikTok to share the mouth-watering recipe that cost her just £2 to whip up. 2 2 The cash-savvy shopper regularly shares easy and affordable recipe ideas on her page - and this time, showed her 10k fans how to make veg and egg fried rice on the cheap. Ingredients For this, she explained in a recent video, you will need a bag of white rice from Aldi's Essentials range, 52p, a six-pack of eggs for £1.45 and 500g of fresh carrots for 40p. Whilst shopping, the Aldi customer also snapped up a pack of three bell peppers for £1.69 and spring onions for just 69p. The total breakdown of the budget-friendly dish was 16p for the rice, 97p for four eggs, 10p for two carrots, 56p for one bell pepper, as well as 20p for three spring onions. This comes to a total cost of £1.99 - or just 50p per head if you're feeding a family of four. Method Once you have all the necessary ingredients, start by boiling 300g of rice and leave it to cool whilst preparing the other items. When the oil in the pan is ready, add the diced carrots and bell peper to cook, with the optional garlic if you have some already. Stir fry for around five minutes before pushing the veggies to the side of the pan and crack in the four eggs before scrambling them. ''Once the eggs have cooked, I'm mixing them in with the vegetables. I spend £400 on a weekly grocery shop - and that's cheap for my family ''Then you're gonna add your rice in and mix all of that together. ''Finally, you're gonna add two tablespoons of soy sauce and your spring onion.'' Give all of this a good stir and cook for an additional three minutes and voila, you're ready to serve your family a delicious meal on a budget. The cash-savvy foodie wrote in the caption: ''This veg & egg fried rice is easy & delicious to make. ''If you want to you can add meat to this, but it's still great without!'' 'Must say that looks lovely' The recipe has clearly impressed many, as the video has racked up more than 130k views and almost 2,000 likes. How to cut the cost of your grocery shop SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from comparison site about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills: Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn't on your list, don't put it in the trolley Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling Don't buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they'll charge for chopping can be eye watering Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains Check the small print – It's always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you're making a like for like decision as a bigger box won't necessarily mean you get more Use your loyalty cards – Don't be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards One person commented: ''Well done. Type of post I like. Makes a change from people moaning about only having £20 to last them one day.'' Someone else chimed in: ''I think you're really inspiring, cooking healthy unprocessed food on a budget.''

I tried kids clothing as a size 10 with DD's to see if I could really save money while still looking stylish

BEING chronically online means I'm inundated with all of the latest trends - whether it's the latest must-have accessory or ways to save on cash. And like everyone else, I'm trying to keep to a budget during the cost of living crisis without missing out on the latest styles. In recent months, fashionistas on social media have sworn by buying from the kids' clothing section to save cash on their summer wardrobe. Paige Joanna, a size 12, revealed she regularly shops Next kids' clothing, while Regan Ellis, a size 10 to 12, swears by Primark's clothing line for children. In the UK, clothing for children is VAT so in theory, it should be cheaper than adult sizes, which have the tax added. And savvy shoppers have spotted that sizes 15-16 for girls often fit women of a size 12, with Next sizing guides even promoting it on their sizing chart. At 5ft 6" and a size 10 with DD's and a need to update my wardrobe whenever the season changes, I decided to give it a go myself to see if it was cheaper, on trend and if they really fit. Next The British store is widely loved by parents for its quality baby clothes. So I decided to see if the kids' clothes were any good as well. I picked up this on-trend sardine T-shirt in a kid's size 16 for £15 and was pleasantly surprised. I assumed it would be a tight fit, but it was actually oversized and was a whole £5 cheaper than the women's version. I then tried on a dress as I assumed it would be harder for a woman with DD's to fit into and was correct. I tried the fitted Pink Mesh Flower Sequin Party Dress that was £31, but it was super ill-fitting and tight around the arms. It also wasn't much cheaper than other event dresses in the women's section, like this pretty pink bandeu number that's £36. 9 I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out Primark 9 My next stop was Primark and I was hoping to see some much more affordable prices. The clothes sizing in Primark stops slightly younger at 14-15 years old but it didn't put me off grabbing a selection to try. The first was an adorable Lemon Print Bubble Hem Dress for £12, which honed in on the Mediterranean trend, but I never found out how it looked on as I couldn't get it over my shoulders. A similar puffball dress from the ladies' collection was £25. Next was a pair of trendy barrel leg jeans in grey for £14 compared to the women's £16 version. The trousers were a perfect fit, as well as saving you a couple of quid, so I'd call it a win. Next was a striped shirred cami top for just £4, it fit perfectly and actually was a little big in some places. The price was an absolute steal compared to the Gingham Shirred Top in the women's section, which was £13. Last but not least was a knitted button - up waistcoat from the girls' range that was £8. It wasn't quite the right fit around the chest, but I could only get it in a size 11-12 years so a couple of sizes up would have been perfect, and yet again was a bargain compared to the Rita Ora Knitted Waistcoat that was £13. 9 9 New Look 9 The last place on my shopping spree was New Look where I got a range of items. First, I tried the Yellow Ditsy Print Tiered Mini Dress in a size 15 for £22.99. After the last two dresses failed to fit, I figured this would be the same but because of its stretch cotton material it fit like a glove. It was slightly cheaper than the women's yellow mini dress on offer which is £25. I also picked up these on-trend cow print barrel leg jeans that are on sale for £16.79, These were a tight fit but I loved the unique print. Plus, they were half the price of the leopard print jeans in the women's section for £32. I tried a blue striped bandeau top for £12.99 which did fit but the women's version was actually cheaper at £7.99. Then there was the denim skort which again was a tight fit and cost £19.99 compared to the grown up tailored version that was £29. Final Thoughts While some of the clothes fit perfectly, others, clearly, did not. You can save some cash shopping in the kids' section but not enough to make me start shopping there all the time. I'd also steer away from shopping online, as you want to try the pieces on before buying.
