00:00 Hi, my name's Tamara.

00:09 My trick is to use slow cooker recipes.

00:13 They're really cheap, they're really easy, especially if you have a busy day, and you

00:18 can easily bulk buy foods and just throw them in the slow cooker.

00:22 Hi, my name's Charlie, and my number one trick for reducing your grocery costs as a uni student

00:29 myself is to simply take simple ingredients such as grilled chicken and just spice them

00:36 up with different sauces, which are usually fairly cheap, which increases the variety

00:41 of what you can get so much.

00:44 Hi, I'm Nadia, and my tip to save more money when it comes to shopping is to really use

00:52 technology to your advantage.

00:55 So I actually use this app called Splitwise, which really helps with tracking finances

01:01 and actually seeing how my budget is working.

01:06 And then on top of that, I also use another app called RecipeMe, which actually helps

01:11 when it comes to finding things in my fridge that I then want to make into a meal, but

01:16 I don't have a recipe for it.

01:17 It'll just like, the app will like suggest recipes for me, and it's just a really handy

01:22 app to have.

01:24 So yeah, use technology to your advantage.
