For the past 4 weeks I have saved $100 a week on our grocery bill simply by meal prepping once a week.
Every Sunday, my son and I spend a few good hours meal prepping.
Jie preps all his dinners for the week because most nights he doesn't get home from work until after 10pm at night and quite frankly, who wants to cook at that time of night?
Jie prepping his food not only helps him save time, but Jie ensures his meals are well balanced and nutritious with high fiber, some good protein and lots of veg.
Jie pays his own food bill as he likes top quality ingredients.
Where-as I have been saving money at the check out these past few weeks buying cheap Coles branded food products to create yummy freezable lunches/dinners.
In the last four weeks I have cooked things like:
Apricot Chicken and Rice
Beef Stroganoff with Mash Potato
Keens Coconut Chicken Curry with Rice
Chicken Chow Mein
Butter Chicken and Rice
Curries Sausages with Mash
Pasta Bake
Cheesy Potato Bake
Spaghetti and Meatballs
So if you're looking to save some serious money when shopping, three meals a week portioned and frozen to heat and eat after a busy day is the way to go!
You could even use the saved money to take the family out to a fave restaurant!
I would recommend Back to Bacchus!
