Day 3: Save time and your (very precious) energy by buying and cooking in BULK. If you have enough space then buying in bulk makes sense, if not then plan to buy in bulk as much as you can; not just food but non-food items too. Keep the cupboard and fridge stocked with basics (see tips from Day 2) and keep an eye on the ‘best before’ and ‘use by’ dates it not only saves time, but also money and helps cut down on food waste. Most of the time (and energy) that is wasted during meal preparations is due to heating up the oven, washing multiple loads of pots and pans and other dishes, clearing up all the mess (well it is when I cook!). Save yourself time by making food in batches and freezing them. For example, cook a large pot of chilli and then freeze in suitable portion sizes. This way you only have to make a mess once, even though you prepare enough for several lunches or dinners.
