How can I keep to my budget?

It doesn't need to cost you more to eat more fruit and vegetables. For a cheaper buy, choose produce in season and look out for special offers in the local markets and shops.

Think about growing your own, such as tomatoes in a grow-bag or carrots in a tub. Swap the extra produce with friends and neighbours.

Most district councils have now developed a guide to all the producers and suppliers of locally-grown produce. They usually list any vegetable box schemes and farmers markets that operate in your area.
