- Look for products with less than 10g total fat, 5g saturated fat, and 1150mg of sodium per serve.
- Always read the labels – even when you're deciding between two flavours of the same brand or between two brands of the same flavour.
- Use regular dried noodles and pasta instead of instant; and serve them with some lean protein and vegetables to get a boost of vitamins and minerals. It’ll take longer to prepare but it’s more nutritious.
- For substantial snacks that offer protein to keep you feeling full and give you fibre for good health, avoid instant snacks. Try some of the “good DIY snacks” in our product comparison table instead.

"My mother (74) got a renewal letter from her insurance company for her car insurance, wanting $570. After reading
your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
level of cover. I just wanted to stay thank you very much for your article, as it has saved my mother a substantial amount of money".
