Walking around the grocery store this morning it still puzzles me how amongst all those people I’m one of the very few wandering around with a list, crossing off items as we buy them. This week was a small shop so with a list we scooted around the shop smartly and got out of there. Shopping lists have definitely changed the way we buy groceries – it’s much more efficient and relaxed and way quicker!!
Our food planner is just drawn up on a piece of reused paper stuck with a magnet to the freezer door but if you want something a bit flasher you can download planning posters from http://www.healthyfood.co.nz. They also have a recipe search engine. Enter up to three ingredients and match up to a recipe. I haven’t used it yet but it looks like it might be a useful link when you want to try something a bit different to your normal recipes.
