How Weekly Shop helps lower the basket
Plan around cheap staples, discounts, and reusable ingredients
Use bulk staples twice
Rice, pasta, oats, potatoes, lentils, chickpeas, eggs, tuna, yoghurt, and frozen vegetables can appear across several meals so the shop is less wasteful.
Compare the basket
A recipe can be cheaper at one retailer, but the weekly basket may be cheaper when split or when a staple is already in the trolley.
Start with low-cost recipes
Sort by per-serve estimate first, then add higher-cost meals intentionally instead of letting expensive proteins dominate the week.
Share the plan
Once the week works, share it with the household so everyone sees the recipes, the plan, and the grocery list before shopping.
