Do you think there's a main mistake we make at the supermarkets?

On that though, as well, because we're shockers at buying too much or forgetting what we have or food waste.

It comes up all the time and it's,

Hard, because as you say, the time poor aspect and we've all got busy lives, but also the food waste can really be a budget killer.

Is there a way to get around food waste and make sure that we are using everything and being a bit smarter?

I think this is so much of money as well in general, is the idea of who we are versus who we are.

Totally.

Does that come up with food?

I think the other thing as well is sometimes when we're sort of marinating in our own world, something that we have been doing for years and that we're quite good at, that we can forget the knowledge that other people outside of the world don't have.

Has there been anything that you, as you've been doing this series, any sort of tips or tricks that you've put out there that you've been surprised at the response it got that's been really useful for people, but you maybe took it for granted?

So you do salt and water and you put your feta cheese in it and that saves it?

Then you've got a little block ready to go for the next time.

Do you think there's an underrated tactic that can help people enjoy their food more while spending less?

You've got to be making things you like.

It often is the way though, isn't it?

It's unfortunately the unsexy regular stuff.

You mentioned before about the protein and I think that's a really tricky one because that is often, well, it's meant to be the heart of the meal often, but it's tricky and it's the expensive bit.

Do you have any tips and tricks for how you...

either pick proteins or stretch them out and things like that?

Love it.
