1. Take advantage of your local supermarkets

Two of the best supermarkets in London include M&S – a local favorite – and Waitrose. Here, you can purchase anything from ready-to-eat food already prepared for your convenience as well as fresh, healthy, and affordable ingredients to make some of your favorite dishes right at home. M&S also offers a whole lot more than just affordable, healthy food. Here, you may also purchase household items such as dining sets, clothing, flowers, and more. Again, all at an affordable price, it is sure to keep your wallet happy.

 

2. Order takeaway options

If you absolutely hate cooking and must eat out but do not want to put a strain on your wallet, you do not always have to go out to a fancy restaurant to have a nice meal. If you want a delicious meal delivered directly to your door, consider ordering takeaway, as this is a cheaper alternative to eating out every night.

 

3. If you simply must eat out, go to a pub!

While on the topic of going out, ditch the fancy restaurant for your local pub. Not only can you enjoy a refreshing drink to end your long day of work, you can also grab a quick bite to eat. In addition to this quick and easy option, pubs also offer a unique experience within themselves. One of the most well-known historic pubs is located just in the heart of Covet Garden and is worth the trip, that is, of course, if you find yourself to be a fan of Elvis. Yes, this is the famous pub where his signed napkin resigns. The pub known as The Cross Keys, actually one of the most distinctive places in Covent Garden, Is known for its delicious food, striking foliage, and, of course, the napkin signed by Elvis.

 

4. Never be afraid to ask for a doggy bag to take home

For some reason, someone is always too shy to ask to take their food home with them when they do not finish it at a restaurant. Never be one of those people. After all, you did pay for the meal, the full meal, that is. Therefore, you should be able to take it home and enjoy it later! In addition to this, it is always a waste to leave your food half-eaten at a restaurant, so please ask for the doggy bag and take it home with you.

 

5. Enjoy some street food
