Meal Prep
Plan once, cook once, and make the rest of the week easier on your wallet and your time.
Meal prep is the habit of planning a few meals, cooking in batches, and portioning them into the fridge or freezer so weekday choices are already made. For many UK budgets, the real win is reducing “urgent” buys: extra supermarket trips, meal deals, and last-minute takeaways.
