Eat the seasons and save money

Planning is key

There are so many benefits to eating seasonally. Firstly, you'll save money. When there's an abundance of produce, the prices go down, so you'll be able to pick up the fruits and vegetables you love for a much better price. Secondly, eating food that has been grown locally is much better for the environment. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, seasonal food not only tastes better, but retains many more nutrients due to being picked when ripe and fully developed. Shop in season, batch cook, and freeze portions to enjoy later. Our weekly meal planner can help you get organised and save money.
