Anna-Maria Persson, a Swedish student, managed to save money on food even during her time as a student. Some months, her food budget was as low as 200 SEK (Swedish Krona). She couldn’t understand how others could run out of food at the end of the month.
For this reason, she decided to start a Facebook group called ”Billig mat för alla” (Cheap Food for Everyone) a few years ago. She wanted to help those with limited budgets to navigate through the supermarkets and find affordable food options. With the escalating prices of groceries, her group has gained more popularity.
Currently, the group has around 30,000 members. Originally, the aim was to show how to create a food budget and find inexpensive food items. Despite the increased costs, Anna-Maria emphasizes that there are still ways to find cheap food.
