01

Shop once

One trip, 17 items. The ingredients repeat across the week, so nothing is bought for a single meal.

02

Cook simple

Baked potatoes, one-pot chicken and rice, burrito bowls, quesadillas: weeknight food with short ingredient lists.

03

Use the leftovers

Whole packs leave extra rice, potatoes and eggs. They carry into next week, so next week costs less.
