If your budget for food is really low, try shopping on saturday afternoons and find out when local stores sell off near sell by date food cheap. Hit the market just before they close and fill carrier bags full of unusual veg, salad and fruit offers. Stock up on offer days, especially on meat and fish, fruit and veg. You can get some real bargains in this way.

Also stock up on such basics as chicken breasts, turkey etc and fill your freezer. Top up your cupboard with healthy snacks such as unsalted nuts, rice cakes, peanut butter etc, so you won't grab unhealthy ones. You will save a fortune not buying crap and look tons better for not eating it

Watch out for healthy oils ie peanut, olive oil etc and spices being sold off cheap or with damaged labels. These add variety to a cutting diet and stop boredom!
