We all like to eat out sometimes.

This can quickly cost a lot of money.

It can also be unhealthy.

Instead, try making your favourite meals at home.

Many key ingredients can be frozen or stored in cupboards.

This includes:

• pasta
• noodles
• vegetables
• sauces

Leftovers mean you have ready prepared meals for another day.

Using leftovers saves time and money.

It also cuts down food waste.

You can freeze meals until you need an easy dinner after a busy day.
