Buy a bread-making machine and start baking your own. It’s quicker to put all the ingredients in the machine than to run to the local supermarket or bakery. The bread is healthier, and you can choose a different type each day.

Depending on what sort of bread-maker you get, you could even have a day a week when you bake other goodies – like healthy cookies, the odd cake or two – and put these into lunch boxes instead of crisps and chocolates.

And you don’t have to get a bread maker, of course. You could just do it the good old-fashioned way – kneading your dough and baking it in your oven. It’s just that a bread maker gives great results with the minimum effort.
