Cooking meals from scratch for yourself or the family, instead of buying ready meals and processed foods, will lead to huge savings on your weekly shopping bill.

 

It also gives you more control over what you eat, which is important if you’re trying to follow a healthy, balanced diet and manage your diabetes.

If you’re stuck for ideas, go to our recipe finder for inspiration, there are hundreds of quick and easy meals for you to try at home.

Plan your meals for the week using our meal planner and learn how to use up leftovers, store food so it lasts longer and keep your store cupboard stocked with healthy essentials so you can whip up a tasty meal rather than ordering a takeaway.
