Food shopping normally accounts for the majority of a household's weekly budget. unfortunately, prices are currently rising all over the world as it's getting more expensive to produce and transport food.

According to the Chicago Board of Trade Index, corn prices have climbed 54% in the past year. Other foods have also risen further: The JP Morgan Chicago Board of Trade Rough Rice Index shows that the price of rice has risen 107% in the past 12 months!

This means, if you're not paying more for your grocery shopping already, you will soon.

How can you fight back against rising food prices?

Stop throwing food away is an easy start!

According to Government waste agency WRAP, we throw away almost 3.6 million tonnes of unwanted food every year - costing us around £9 billion.

Recent research from Abbey shows the average UK home throws out £5.10 worth of out-of-date groceries every week. That's over £265 every year!

Before doing a big shop, consider shopping online for your groceries. You can check avoid buying things you don't need by checking what's in your cupboards as you go. And each week you can re-order from your ‘usual orders' list.

You can also use special offers from the supermarket that they send by email and, while you will pay a delivery charge, you will save the cost of petrol/public transport.

Or, you could shop more often for small amounts, so your food doesn't go off before you've eaten it.

By shopping online you'll also avoid the crafty techniques supermarkets employ to make you spend more, like Wafting smells around to make you hungrysuch as freshly-baked bread, or encouraging you to make impulse buys.

Other ways to save money on food and groceries is to take packed lunches to work or college. A packed lunch for a pound, rather than spending £6 at the deli, will save you £115 a month.

you could buy your snacks in bulk from the supermarket for half the price of your vending machine or the local shop.

Also, check out the Special offers like buy-one-get-one-free. These can save you lots of money. Just make sure you really need it or you can store it until you do need it.
