Success!!! I think.

Geordie Rob, look for things you normally buy("store what you eat, eat what you store") but look out for special offers, say packs of baked beans at half price-you can point out to her that you can buy twice as much for what you normally pay.

I'd never actually thought about it that way. When things were on offer, I used to just put the cash saved in a jar & use it next time (or for anything else we needed during the month). But it makes even more sense to spend the same amount, but buy double & put the extra to one side so it's kind of prepping for free.
