Meal planning has long been considered a way to reduce your shopping bill, a money-saving tip championed by the likes of Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin on the hit BBC show Eat Well For Less. Asda have embraced meal planning and launched a £20 meal plan, which consists of seven budget friendly recipes which the supermarket giant says will feed a family of four for one week.
There are other companies that specialise in meal plan delivery to your door. What stands Asda apart, is its focus on a £20 budget using ingredients from its Just Essentials range, which start at 16p.
The range includes store cupboards staples such as plain flour, rice and tinned tomatoes, fresh produce such as brown onions, and protein including pork sausages and bacon rashers. Reporter Megan Shaw who has a family of four tried out Asda's meal deal, here are her thoughts as reported by YorkshireLive and how she got on cooking from the budget range.
