Make a short shopping plan

Plan a few flexible meals before you shop.

Start by checking what is already in the kitchen, then choose a few meals that share ingredients. A bag of frozen vegetables can work with several different dinners.

Include foods you enjoy and can prepare with the time you have. Fresh, frozen and canned options can all have a place in a practical kitchen.

Try it in your routine

  • Check the fridge, freezer and cupboards.
  • Choose meals with overlapping ingredients.
  • Add one easy backup meal for a busy day.
