Planning helps you figure out what you want to eat and need to buy. It is easy to underestimate what you eat in a few days or a week.

How do you usually shop?

Going to the shops every few days is great for topping up, but it can be more expensive. Planning your meals and shopping can make food go further, and help you avoid any extra spending and food waste that can result from ‘top-up’ shopping. Planning can also help you avoid offers and deals on things you don't need.
