CHEAP EATS
Find out how to slash your grocery bill and eat for cheap!
With the cost of food soaring, this has been a highly requested session!
Host Ellen Burns will cover a wide range of tips and techniques, such as: how to shop smarter, how to lower your food waste, which food to grow at home for the lowest input and biggest impact, and how to get food for free!
No need to register a ticket, just come along to Sebas Library.
This is sure to be a popular session, so we recommend coming slightly early to make sure you get a seat.
Sebas Library has a kitchenette so you can grab a cuppa on your way to the meeting room!

Who did they hire?
How much did it cost?
How much are they saving?
Would they do anything differently?
