It was my pleasure to host Credit Crunch Munch during July and I was blown away by the wonderful number of entries – 34 in total!I have found there is so much money to be saved just by changing the time I go shopping and in turn this has inspired so many recipes because there’s nothing like a bag of fresh produce staring at you to spur you into action!
