Right now, many households in the UK are feeling the squeeze as the cost of living continues to bite \u2013 and for most people, rising food prices<\/strong> are front and centre of that pressure. In fact, 95 % of people<\/a><\/strong> whose cost of living went up said it was because food shopping had increased in price \u2013 more than any other expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why finding small ways to cut costs can really matter. That\u2019s where Olio comes in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olio is helping people cut waste while also giving them more breathing room in their budgets. In a time when every penny counts, these small actions add up \u2013 whether it\u2019s finding a free meal, getting things like books, toiletries and even furniture at no cost, or discovering discounted up-to-date food on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started as a way to tackle food waste has grown into a way for people to support each other, save money, and rethink how they shop and consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve even been featured in MoneySavingExpert’s<\/a> feature on money saving tips and  articles in The Sun<\/a> and Manchester Evening News<\/a>, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as the stories show, there\u2019s no single way Olio helps to save money. Its impact is as varied as the people who use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Amy, a single mum of two, the savings go straight to her family\u2019s table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a single mum of two so having Olio has helped with expenses of my weekly grocery shop. It\u2019s made such a difference when I\u2019ve needed something and haven\u2019t had the money to go shopping.\u201d<\/em> Amy from North Somerset, UK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
