How to organise your weekly meals, easily and cheaply

Planning what you eat is the difference between cooking and improvising. Four strategies that save time and money without making meals boring.

Organising what you eat can turn into real work, especially when time is short and the week is fast. A few strategies keep it cheap, healthy and worth eating.

Write a weekly plan

Decide what you are eating at each meal of the week. You will be prepared, and you will not lose time or money to whatever is quickest at 19:00.

Shop deliberately

Get what your plan needs from one place. An online grocery like ePantry.gr lets you buy against a list rather than against the shelves, and lets you see the offers before you commit.

Learn to store things correctly

Whether it is cured meat, fruit or vegetables, correct storage extends shelf life substantially. Use airtight containers and put things on the right shelf of the fridge.

Cook in larger batches

If you have the time, cook more portions than you need. Container them and freeze them. You will always have a meal ready when you have no time to make one.

Organising your food is not hard, particularly when you use the convenience of online shopping and spend a little time planning. Try it and see how much time, effort and money it saves.
