Save money: Do better meal planning
The majority of Kiwis meal plan in some way, shape, or form. However some households still throw away the equivalent of three shopping trolleys of food every year.
Love Food Hate Waste see that there’s plenty of opportunity to step up our game! Life doesn’t always go as planned. That home-cooked dinner on Thursday can quickly turn into a catch-up with friends, and Friday takeaways? They’re practically a national pastime. Follow the four C’s and say goodbye to wasted kai and hello to more savings, less stress, and meals that work for your lifestyle!
Make planning a breeze with the four C’s
- Check your week: Who’s home? When will you be busy or tired?
- Check what you’ve got: See what needs using up in your fridge, freezer and pantry.
- Choose your meals: Plan easy, flexible meals. Plan in your leftovers. Consider downloading a meal planning app or using a meal kit service which makes meal planning effortless.
- Create your list: Don't forget to take it with you!
