Here’s what we do next

Give BestBody a problem.

01

Reserve the budget by meal type

Allocate the weekly total across breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks so one part of the week does not quietly consume the whole shop.

02

Pick ingredients that do more than one job

Oats, potatoes, rice, tinned tomatoes, beans, eggs and frozen vegetables can support several different meals.

03

Write quantities, not just ingredient names

A useful list reflects household size and planned portions. This prevents both under-buying and expensive unplanned top-up shops.

04

Check price per unit and substitute

Pack size, promotions and availability change. Compare the unit price and choose a nutritionally sensible alternative when it genuinely saves money.
