Take a look inside
A short excerpt from the guide.
Starting a budget-friendly vegetarian meal prep routine can feel overwhelming if you don’t plan ahead. Without a clear strategy, you risk overspending on fresh produce that spoils, buying unnecessary extras, or falling into the trap of eating the same meals repeatedly. The key is to map out a simple, repeatable menu that fits your budget, stock your kitchen with affordable staples, and create a shopping routine that minimises waste. Example Menu (£15–£20 for a family of four, 5 days): Monday: Oatmeal with banana (Breakfast), Lentil & veggie soup (Lunch), Spaghetti with lentil Bolognese (Dinner). Tuesday: Toast with hummus (Breakfast), Rice & chickpea curry (Lunch), Jacket potato with beans (Dinner).
