The new start
September 21, 2009 | Posted by grant management
For many people, this time of year is a new beginning. New school, university, college, city, job, focus, home, wardrobe (lucky for some!) and for all of us a new season. If this is the first time you have lived away from home, we will be posting some ideas to make life easier, better, more manageable for you. If you have any ideas you would like to share, please feel free to let us know! We will be posting the full list on our Hints and Tips section on the Grant Management Blog.
With the credit crunch looming over us for the last however many months, there has been plenty of advice as to how your money can go further. One idea is cooking for yourself rather than buying convenience food or take away meals. Cooking for yourself and your house mates can not only save you money, it can be a healthier way to eat too….it can also bring people together, be the basis of lots of good chat, help reduce washing up, keep bills low, be a challenge and enjoyable.
If you plan your weekly menu, it can make shopping easy and you can turn any left overs into soup, sandwiches or stews. These could even form part of your lunch, saving on money when you are eating away from home too.
However, always follow hygiene guidelines, especially with meat, frozen food and re heating. Make sure you stock your fridge properly, avoiding raw and cooked items sitting together.
