Frugal Food's relaunched will include pictures, as well as the original 'Cheap Charter', advising readers how to shop for value. All royalties will go to the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development.

Delia Smith said: 'Frugal Food has never been out of print but is now more relevant than ever. It is my hope that a new generation faced with rising food costs will also find it helpful.'

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
