“I think [generations today] may have lost some of the know-how, but they certainly haven’t lost the ability,” she says.The single most effective way to eat healthy within budget is to learn the seasons of your favourite fruit and vegetables, says Ms O’Keefe.

Heading into autumn, freshly harvested carrots, potatoes and pumpkins will be at their best and cheapest in coming weeks, and shoppers will see the last of the summer strawberry and plum harvests make way for apples and pears.“Even with the smallest backyard, you can have a couple of silverbeet plants and a couple of crowns of rhubarb. So you’ve always got a green vegetable for dinner meal, and you’ve always got some rhubarb that you can cook up for dessert.

“Then you’ve got those fresh herbs to flavour dishes, and they can be expensive to buy and if you don’t use it all straight away, it can get wasted.”Cutting back on meat is an obvious answer to the eye-watering cost at the butcher counter, but Ms O’Keefe says people can also re-learn to love cheaper cuts of meat in a slow cooker.“We’re going into the cooler weather now, so you’ve got your chuck steak, also known as casserole steak, or lamb quarter chops.

To stop a jar of opened tomato paste going mouldy in the fridge, cover the surface of the paste with olive oil.Don’t throw out bread crusts. Dry in low oven until crispy and whizz in food processor to make dry breadcrumbs. Store in an airtight container.Left-over cooked pasta or rice can be added to meatballs to make them go further.
