Meal Planner

Meal Menu Planner

Meal Planner - It's easier than you think to come up with your own meal planner, and still one of the best ways to live well for less.

Step 1

Keep your store cupboard well stocked with key ingredients: seasonings, oil, rice and tins of beans and tomatoes etc.

Step 2

Plan ahead. Do you cook most of the week’s meals or just dinner? Knowing your habits will help you shop.

Step 3

Choose your main ingredients. For example, if your family loves chicken, buying enough to cover a couple of meals could save money.

Step 4

Why not try to incorporate your five a day by introducing a rainbow of fruit and vegetables.

Family meal planner

Trying to think what you're going to feed your family can be a recipe for frustration (yours) and culinary boredom (theirs). But planning what you're going to eat can save time and money.

To get you going, we've done a couple of sample week-day family meal plans, one for scoff-anything families and one for veggies, based on tried and tested Mumsnet recipes. You can print the sample meal plans and a blank meal planner to fill in your family's favourites, whether it's pizza or pissaladiere. You can also use the planner as the basis for your shopping list.
