Cooking on a Budget
You may be reading this guide because you or someone you care for is adjusting to living on a pension. Or perhaps you’re already a dedicated money-saving scrimper. We appreciate that people reading this will be in different circumstances, and that some sections may not apply to you. Please dip in and out of each section as you see fit. Whatever your reason for reading the guide, you can still have fun while saving money.
