Shop Once, Eat Twice

Your fridge is full, your bill is high, and the cabbage is going soft again. This book connects the shop to the meals. You will learn a simple overlap rule so every item you buy serves at least two dinners, how to compare unit prices and keep a small price book, and how to build a week from six flexible meal formulas with quantities instead of long recipes. Worked costings show how one chicken, one bag of rice or one cabbage stretches across the week, and how leftovers become new meals. Clear chapters cover cooling, storing, freezing and reheating food safely, with notes on where national guidance differs, plus a practical way to measure and cut the food you throw away. All prices are invented examples, so you can swap in your own.
