Keeping pots of herbs in your kitchen can save you money on having to repeat purchase packs of herbs. A basil plant costs £1.50 at Sainsbury's, and will survive as long as it gets sunlight and water, and is kept away from draughts in winter. A 28g basil bunch costs £1 from Sainsbury's and will only last a few days. Growing from seed can be even more cost effective.
