As January gets in full swing and New Year’s resolutions slowly make their way out of the window in favour of post-Christmas snacks, the start of another 12 months brings with it a time to start fresh and look forward to what’s ahead.
With the aftermath of the festive season making people re-think their spending habits until what seems like the longest time until payday, getting a lot by spending a little is something that most aim to do in their weekly shop.
Understanding that the start of the year can often be the hardest, SPAR is there for you this January and beyond with its 100 everyday food essentials now ‘price locked’.
Owned and run by locals, for locals, SPAR stores are packed with all the essentials for everyday living. With a friendly neighbourhood SPAR never far from home, you can always find fantastic deals that make your budget stretch even further.
Save with SPAR
As prices rise and Christmas decorations get tidied away again, it’s no wonder that the worst day of the year falls in January.
Blue Monday, this year falling on January 15, is often a point of realisation that gift-giving is over and it’s back to reality with bills to pay and mouths to feed.
Once all the leftover turkey has finally run out and you’re no longer enjoying a supper of cheese and biscuits, that dreaded first shop of the year rears its expensive head.
But fear not, as there is light at the end of the very long January tunnel. Having already made a big deal out of Christmas, SPAR is tackling the January blues head-on with its range of store cupboard staples from just £1.25.
From a plethora of SPAR-branded items to a range of household favourites such as Baxters and Robinsons, you can feed a family of four for as little as £1.25 per person with the new ‘Save with SPAR’ range.
Whether you’re looking for snacks and drinks to enjoy at family movie night, or you’re simply hoping to stock up on all your store cupboard essentials, look no further than SPAR this January.
From coffee and tomato ketchup to soup and tuna, you’ll soon find yourself ditching the shopping list and picking up an abundance of goodies and essentials to fill not only your cupboards but your fridge and freezer as well.
SPAR’s own brand range is made up of more than a hundred products; all designed to deliver value for money.
Thanks to its brilliant range of own label products, SPAR consistently outperforms by offering value for money that customers can expect to find in every store.
SPAR has extended ranges within fresh, frozen, grocery, alcohol and more, aiming to stand out to its customers through excellence, value and regional expertise, and keep them coming back for more.
Take charge of your kitchen
Although saving money when you shop is great for your budget, doing other small acts can also help your weekly shop go that bit further.
Helping you save time as well as money, SPAR has three simple food hacks to make your meals mean more:
Add more veg
Even though we might tell our children to remember to get their five-a-day, we’re all guilty of not eating enough vegetables at meal times.
Grating up veggies, such as carrots and courgettes, into recipes like stews of bolognese is not only a great way to make sure the whole family gets their daily veg intake, but is a fantastic way to help make the meal stretch even further.
Zero food waste
Saving money on your food shop is great, but all the efforts of grabbing those fantastic SPAR deals will have been for nothing if the food gets wasted.
Using stale bread to make breadcrumbs or turning overripe fruit into a delicious smoothie are just a couple of simple ways in which you can reduce your household food waste and get even more value out of your mealtimes.
Batch cook
Easy meals like pasta and spaghetti can be batch-cooked so you can feed the family and still have enough left over to make the next day’s lunchtime more interesting.
If you’ve got a slow cooker, then meats and sauces can easily be batch-cooked and stored until you’re ready to use them. Freezing any leftovers can also be a great way to help reduce food waste.
