“Over summer when grocery prices started skyrocketing, I decided to buy early,” Cassie says.
“I earmarked Brussel sprouts, greens, potatoes, meat joints and some mince pie options like the tiny apple pies we love for Christmas,” she says. “Doing it this way it cost me £3 to make compared to £15 if I had bought a luxury stuffing the week before the big day. According to Cassie her grocery bill has increased by over 25 per cent in the last two months, and she’s been able to use any festive extras to keep her family well fed.
