Meal planning takes about 20 minutes at the weekend and saves hours and money during the week.
How to start
Plan 5–7 dinners. Write a shopping list directly from the plan. Buy only what is on the list. Designate one or two flexible nights for leftovers.
Tips for success
- Check what is already in the fridge and freezer before planning
- Plan around your week — busy nights need quick meals
- Batch cook where possible to have leftovers
