BBC Good Food Cook Smart podcast
Strict meal plans are only useful if you can find all the ingredients at the price you need and you have no dietary restrictions, the right number of people to feed, and a family who all eat the same things.
We’ll tell you how to write your own – and how to change it when you get to the shops if you need to.
Discover more budget ideas including budget batch-cooking recipes, slow cooker ideas and our family meal plan.
