How to Make Food Without Wasting Time or Money

On our new Collect, Categorise and Communicate brief, we're working as a group, and we have to research how to make food without wasting time or money.

Being a student, I'd say it was pretty useful for us to be researching into anyway. We need to research into primary, secondary, quantitive and qualitative research. 

When doing my own food shopping each week, I mainly spend my money on vegetables, because they are so cheap and really don't take that much prep, and generally speaking, the cheapest vegetables are the ones that are in season. So here is a list of the vegetables that are in season each month.
