      The secret to cooking on a budget

      Who says cheap meals have to be bland or repetitive? Our meal plans are built on a foundation of easy pasta recipes, convenient one-pot meals, and fool-proof slow cooker classics. Best of all, each dish on this week's menu is budget-friendly and designed for maximum flavour with minimal ingredients.

      🌿 Pantry Staples: Less is More

      This meal plan was designed to use the least amount of ingredients possible to keep costs down but to use them in unique combinations. So, you'll see alot of the same ingredients over and over. This not only keeps costs low but reduces waste. Below are the ingredients that you will see repeated.

      • olive oil 
      • vegetable oil 
      • salt
      • pepper
      • dried herbs and spices

      Before you shop for this meal plan, please check your cupboards and fridge/ freezer for ingredients you may already have.

      *Especially items like fresh garlic, limes, lemons and fresh herbs.
