Extra costs as a disabled person - what are your life hacks?

Hello @Sam_Scope Good Morning How are you ?

I have always got tips, tricks, shortcuts to save money.  Especially around food products, items and also many little things our community might be interested in.

My main tip is to if going shopping.  Plan a menu for the week. 
Do a stock check of all your cupboards, fridge, freezer.
Make a note of what you have.  You might have all items for some of what you eat.
I use A4 lined paper with plastic folders and A4 binder includes my stock list.
Recipes and short cuts, tips tricks.
Buy what you need.  
Stick to your list
Do not forget kitchen, toilet items.
Make a separate list for them
Have on list Tin Foil, Zip bags for freezing storing food.
Labels sticky ones.

Food Preparation
Buy Food Processor/ Blender  Great for saving time chopping dicing.  Any left overs blended in to Soup.  Sunday Roast Veg for Monday evening meal.
Buy ready made meatballs cheaper than own freeze into zip bags in to sauce.
Most supermarkets sell them.
Plan if you can freezer meals for yourself.  I have in freezer Bolognese with Ragu Sauce,  Curry Sauce, Chilli and Pasta sauce in portions for me.  Put in bags labelled plus into another large one zip bag to prevent just in case leakages
All left overs soup with Passata which are tin toms blitzed up saver there as well.  Red Wine Vinegar Preservative.
Sieve for any bits and use either as soup or as stock cube to recipes.
Left over Curry Pastes, Tom Puree or anything with Spices in it freeze in icecubes trays taken out when solid.  Into zipbags label
All Herbs chopped up with oil into ice cube trays the same.
Buy dried Herbs and Spices bulk. if you use a lot.  Supermarket own brands often cheaper than buying on line.
Left over Cheese grated food processor use then into zipbags.  Good for hard Cheese, like Italian or Cheddar good.
Vegetables from Supermarket or Markets most can be blanched and then shocked cold then dried.  Then into zipbags.  
Peppers can be diced up sliced, into zipbags.  Potatoes boil, cool down ice water, zipbags.  Ready for roasting or mashing.
Worth buying frozen vegetables like Spinach, Peas, Green Beans, Broad Beans Broccoli.  Plus frozen fruit, Pineapple, Mango Cherries and Berries cheaper frozen than fresh.
Buy frozen fish I buy Coley, Mackeral now again Pollack all similar to Cod, Haddock,,Salmon cheaper than fresh.
Use Tin Foil for storing Meat prevents freezer burn, sometimes in polythene if not wrapped too tight.  Prevents sticking to bars of freezer.  Has happened.  Label with stick labels date and what it is.
Then defrost in fridge in tin foil.
Buy cheap cuts of meat.  I buy Chicken Thighs, not Breast, for example.  Save a lot.  Use a Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker saves time and money.

Try to have ago making your own sauces lot cheaper to make than you think.  Saving loads on jars.
There are products out there to use like Ginger, Garlic, Chilli already done for you.
Having a kitchen with a food processor, blender.
Invest in a frost free freezer do not need to defrost.

I hope any body finds these useful.  These tips tricks savers some I got from worker in kitchens as a volunteer,plus also I use my self from what I been gathering from personal experience.

If you own your own car, check your annual mileage. If your mileage is very low consider a limited mileage insurance policy to save money. I saved about 75% on recent renewal
