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.

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.

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.
