Love food, hate waste? How to feed families for $60
24/07/2018 12:00pm
Produced by Love Food Hate Waste and supported by Nelson City Council, Easy Choice – Family Kai is a seasonal meal planner and recipe book, which consists of four weeks of five dinner meal plans that will feed a family of six for approximately $60-a-week.
Easy Choice employs many different strategies to help keep the cost of food low, while ensuring that each meal is healthy and balanced – from making sure that no food goes to waste to helping with shopping planning and using practical ingredients like frozen vegetables, through to using the leftovers from one meal to make another.
Each week’s ingredients should cost approximately $60, although this may vary based on produce prices, the supermarket you shop at and weekly specials.
The winter edition of Easy Choice is the second of four seasonal meal planners to be released, following the launch of the autumn edition in April. The spring booklet will follow in October with the summer plan being released in January.
You can download the Easy Choice booklets, or sign up for the Love Food Hate Waste monthly newsletter at lovefoodhatewaste.co.nz or email lesswaste@ncc.govt.nz for a printed copy.
Council supports the national Love Food Hate Waste programme as part of our drive to reduce waste. Love Food Hate Waste focuses on eating well on a budget using seasonal produce and cutting out waste – it's a win/win all round.
