Niamh Hennessy shows how cutting back on fast food deliveries can make a big difference to your pocket

Let's Talk ... Takeaways

One of the Operation Transformation leaders, Sarah O’Connor said recently that she is saving around €70 on her weekly shopping bill after ditching takeaways and processed food. This just shows how changing some habits can result in big savings. 

With the price of just about everything on the rise, we can expect some price hikes with takeaways too. However, there is absolutely no need to be completely cutting out takeaways from your life as they can certainly bring a lot of joy. However, they don’t come cheap. Rather than go cold turkey on the takeaways, it could be time to do a bit of a cut back. Even cutting out just one takeaway a week can result in a lot of savings.
