Susan’s Cupboard: The Complete Supermarket Savings Collection

How to shop cheaper, stock up smarter and eat well for less. Seven books in one.



I spent thirty-six years in supermarkets, the last fifteen running a big store in the Valleys. I’ve stacked the shelves, priced the yellow stickers, and watched what goes into people’s trolleys every single day. And I learned this: the people who do best aren’t the ones with the most money. They’re the ones who know how the shop works, and who keep a week in the cupboard so they’re never caught short.

So I’ve written it all down for you, in big, clear print.

What’s inside

📕 Book 1: Susan’s Supermarket Savings. My twelve rules for every shop, the unit-price trick, and what to buy where at 11 shops: Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Co-op, Iceland, Farmfoods, B&M and Home Bargains. Plus 40 everyday staples, loyalty cards explained, yellow sticker times, and the traps to walk past.

🌧️ Book 2: The Storm Cupboard. What sells out first when trouble comes, a week of food in the cupboard, what to do in a power cut, water, floods, and meals with no cooker at all.

🥣 Book 3: Cooking for One. Freezer rules, half-tin tricks, a fortnight’s plan, and 15 recipes, from cawl and Welsh rarebit to bara brith.

🍲 Book 4: Cooking for Four. How to stretch the meat, one chicken for three dinners, 12 family recipes, packed lunches, and Christmas dinner for four for less.

🍝 Book 5: The £1 Dinner Book. Twenty hot dinners for about a pound a portion or less, every one priced.

👛 Book 6: The Pensioner’s Purse. The help people miss: Pension Credit, the Winter Fuel Payment, the Warm Home Discount, Attendance Allowance, help in Wales, and a simple claim checklist, all using the official 2026 to 2027 figures.

🔌 Book 7: The Cheap Kitchen. What it really costs to cook, and whether the slow cooker, air fryer, microwave or oven is cheapest. Plus how to waste less food.

🖨️ Printables. A storm cupboard checklist, cupboard rotation log, price book, four-week meal planner, yellow sticker diary, £15, £30 and £50 shopping lists, a weekly budget, a freezer log, a Christmas planner, and cut-out purse and fridge cards.
