Are you in need of some tips for cutting down your grocery bill? Auckland blogger Stacey Sampson might be able to help.
After a financial emergency drained her and her husband of all their savings, they were left with just $60 in their bank account to feed their three kids.
Now every month she does a "cheap week" that helps cut costs and minimise food wastage. To read about Stacey and her food tips, click here.
"This month we've done it twice to save some extra for Christmas," she says.

Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go around.
