According to Kazim, the idea for the London Cheap Eats guide came out of a growing need. “During eight months of travel taking up most of 2015 I realized, when I did return home, I was going to have a lot less disposable income than when I left,” she recalled on her website.

“I like to go out, quite a bit. I still very much wanted to be an active member of London’s dining scene, enjoying the fantastic meals it has to offer on a frequent basis, but without the £20-£60 (and beyond) price tag each time. And I figured there were others like me.”

And so, she decided to launch a comprehensive guide of the best budget food in London, made up of trusted and objective opinions, suggesting not only on where to go, but also what to order.

With a huge following on Instagram, her idea caught on. To date, the official London Cheap Eats Instagram has 93k followers.

The recommendations and reviews come with photos and videos that are alone worth your follows and likes. Be sure to check it out.

Soup

Making soup at home is super affordable, because you only need vegetables and water, and you have something amazing. Whether you want to go for a pureed soup like carrot or zucchini, or a vegetable soup like minestrone, making soup is one of the best dishes to make on a dime.

Dried Beans

Although buying beans in a can is still very affordable, making them from scratch is even more so. Normally a pound of beans only costs a couple of dollars, and it produces twice or sometimes three times as much end product after they’ve been soaked and cooked. The trick with beans is to change the water as much as you can, and you’ll get soft, evenly cooked beans every time.

Frozen Produce

Whether it’s vegetable or berries, buying foods frozen is a much better deal than fresh. It’s also healthier than canned food because there are no preservatives or additives in them. They will also keep for a long time so you can use just a little here and there.
