🛒✨ Looking to keep your grocery budget intact without sacrificing quality? UK shoppers have borrowed a trick from the fashion world: High-Low shopping! 🛍️👗
So, what’s the buzz? High-Low shopping is the art of mixing premium products with everyday essentials to elevate your meals without breaking the bank. According to Ocado, this savvy method is now embraced by two-thirds of shoppers! 🤯
Here’s how it works: You might spend a little more on premium ingredients like fresh meat, fish, or extra virgin olive oil—those items that really pack a punch in your dishes. Then, balance it out with more affordable staples like pasta, rice or potatoes. 🥩🍝🥔
Top ingredients to splurge on:
– Fresh Meat (58%)
– Fresh Fish (37%)
– Extra Virgin Olive Oil (35%)
– Butter (34%)
– Eggs (32%)
And the budget-friendly stars? Say hello to pasta, rice, and grains, which are on the rise as folks find smart ways to keep costs down. 🍚
Ocado’s partnership with home cook Saff Michaelis has even inspired some mouth-watering recipes that perfectly embody this High-Low approach. Saff recommends saving on carbs like pasta and potatoes while splurging on “favour fats” (butter and olive oil) to carry flavour. Trust us, a quality olive oil paired with a humble garlic will elevate your meal to new heights! 🍳🥗
