An influencer has revealed a simple way to plan meals for three months in just 15 minutes and dramatically cut your grocery bill cost at the same time.
Food writer Amy Sheppard, 41, from Cornwall, has explained how to slash the cost of your groceries by up to 40 per cent and saving time in the process.
Amy, who has 46,000 added that only 60 per cent of her followers don’t meal plan because they ‘don’t know where to start’ and wanted flexibility.
Speaking exclusive to FEMAIL, Amy explained: ‘Meal planning and writing shopping lists may seem like an unnecessary chore – but it actually saves you time and money.
‘It is the number one way you can reduce your shopping bill and if you don’t currently plan, you could save up to 40 per cent a week in the supermarket – vital now that we’re all experiencing a rise in food prices.
‘Meal planning will help you prepare for busy nights and means you waste less food. Every ingredient you buy will be allocated to a meal. This means you will spend less money (you’ll only buy what you need)
‘It will mean you spend less time cobbling together dinners from a random selection of food and more time cooking the food that you love!
Amy writes simple money saving recipes. Her new cookbook HOB was released in June of this year. It’s packed full of easy, family recipes that don’t use loads of ingredients, won’t take lots of time to cook and they can all be cooked on the hob – most of them in one pan.
