Plan three dinners for this week

Decide what you will cook on three evenings and write it down.

Why it helps

Knowing dinner in advance saves the nightly debate, reduces last-minute takeaway and cuts food waste. Three meals is easy to plan and leaves room for flexibility.

How to do it

1. Check what is already in your fridge and cupboards.
2. Choose three simple dinners that use those items.
3. Write them down with the missing ingredients.

Plan just tomorrow's dinner.
