Supermarket total making your stomach drop? You’re not imagining it, food prices have become one of the biggest pain points of the cost-of-living crisis.

In this episode of Making Cents, financial journalist Frances Cook sits down with chef Alice Taylor, creator of the Cheap and Realistic Eats Cookbook (available at https://www.alicetayloreats.com) to talk about how to eat well without overspending.

From $1.50 loaves of bread and 20 cent noodles, to clever ingredient swaps that make baking cheaper and better, Alice shares practical, tested ways to feed a family for less.

She explains how to:

Build a staple pantry that cuts costs and waste
Use budget-friendly substitutes that actually work
Cook healthy, affordable meals that still feel special
Swap food guilt for pride and progress in the kitchen

This is real-world advice for anyone trying to stretch a grocery budget without sacrificing flavour or enjoyment.
