Hannah Noble knows how to get by on a tight budget. The Christchurch-based mum-of-two is responsible for the Cheaper Living Facebook group, where more than 98,000 Kiwis share their tips for living frugally.
Witnessing food prices skyrocket over the last few months and more and more people looking for ways to eat healthily on a shoestring budget, Noble set out to create a resource to help all New Zealanders find affordable fruit and vegetables.
The Frugal Organized Mama, as she is known online, crowdsourced information about fruit and vege co-ops all across New Zealand and compiled them into a list she recently shared online.
These fruit and vegetable co-ops are places where people who buy produce in bulk then split them up to save money on them. Noble's list includes co-ops all across the country, from Northland to Otago.
"It's the perfect way to help lots of people live cheaper at once by having an easy to access resource," Noble told the Herald.
