I’m a savvy shopper and love to save cash – the 7p sandwiches and 3p breakfasts I swear by to keep on budget
A SAVVY food shopper has revealed how to make 7p sandwiches and 3p breakfasts if money is tight.
Money-saving pro Elliot William, from Preston, shared how he makes his money stretch further in the supermarket if pay day is a little bit too far away.
Elliot, who posts on social media under the username @costoflivingcrisistips, often shares helpful tips and tricks to beat the cost-of-living crisis.
For breakfast, he buys a kilo of porridge oats from Aldi for just 70p and this helps him make breakfasts each day for just 3p.
He simply adds the oats to a pan with 300ml of water.
You should then let the mixture simmer, and stir the water for five minutes.
To add some sweetness, you can add a dusting of sugar for an extra 3p.
Elliot added: “Recommended serving is 40g of porridge oats which is 25 servings per kilo making it 2.8 pence per serving.”
One viewer commented that you could make the recipe better with milk, but Elliot explained this would bump the breakfast up to 30p.
Meanwhile, others suggested he could add a banana or frozen fruit.
Elliot also explained how he makes 7p sandwiches for lunch to make his budget stretch even further.
He buys bread and jam for 78p and uses the 22 slices to make 11 sandwiches.
The budget whizz said this makes enough lunches to last the week.
Many people were impressed with his budget hacks, with one saying: “love this account man, keep it up.”
A second added: “Damn that’s cheap.”
