On BBC’s The One Show, Chris Bavin, co-host of Eat Well For Less? had some useful tips for families struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis. Top of his list was an NHS Healthy Start card which can help thousands of people save money on their food bills.
With around half of eligible shoppers not taking up the offer, and the price of food rising at a vast rate, the 42-year-old pleaded with viewers to check whether it is something they are entitled to. He said: “It’s been going for a long time actually, it’s called Healthy Start.
“They used to be vouchers, now they’ve gone digital so you get a pre-loaded card and they put the money on there. So, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland it’s Healthy Start, in Scotland it’s Best Start.
