Hello {!firstname_fix}, I'm Magpie Izzy, back with another fortnightly boxset. In this newsletter, I round up some of our best content to help you make, save and manage money. Now I am a huge
foodie - I love cooking food, trying new cuisines and baking sweet treats and goodies. However, it's no secret the price of food has soared in the last year, and buying ingredients for cooking and baking is more expensive than it has ever been. In the year to June 2023, the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 17.4% - and the cost of eating out increased by almost 15%. This got me thinking - can you eat more cheaply, or in some circumstances, for free? I decided to put this boxset together to help you save money by cooking cheap recipes, getting low cost and free ingredients and even make money from cooking! Enjoy the boxset - I hope it doesn't make you too hungry! Speak soon, Izzy x |
