Fruit and vegetables

Comparing the cost of pre-packed and loose fruit and vegetables can help you find which is cheapest.

Keep an eye on the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the year. You can use cheaper options in season in your favourite meals and as snacks
  • Buying loose versions could help avoid buying more than you need and reduce food and plastic waste
  • If you have room in the fridge or freezer to keep fruit & vegetables, buying a bigger pack could save money
  • Tinned fruit and vegetables are great options for when you don’t have much time to prepare meals or snacks for you and your kids
  • Choose fruit tinned in juice, rather than syrup which is high in sugar
  • Picking vegetables tinned in water, with no added salt, is a healthier option
Passata, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes can be kept in the cupboard. Adding these to any meal with a sauce will make it go further and add more vegetables to your meal
