How to Choose which Planner is Best for You

Before putting together our meal planners we surveyed over 600 people to ask when faced with a tighter budget, which things they would struggle to give up.

Two of the main things were having meat 3-4 times a week, (option one) and being able to have fresh fruit each day (option 2).

We have built our planners to accomodate as many of those as we could. We suggest that you and your family have a think about which things you are happy to compromise on. This should help you choose the planner that’s right for you.

Each plan feeds 2 adults of average energy needs and 2 young teenage children all meals for 31 days
