A meal plan will save you time, effort, and money.

Meal Plan: These are the benefits

To create a meal plan, you decide at the end of the week what exactly you want to eat for the next few days. Such a weekly plan not only has advantages for you, but can also make your lifestyle more sustainable in general.

You waste less food: When shopping, you consciously only get the ingredients that you need for the upcoming meals. This ensures that you will actually use all the food you have bought in the next few days.
You save time: Both when shopping and when cooking, you no longer have to worry about what should actually be on the table today. A look at the meal plan is enough.
You spend valuable time with roommates or your family: If you live with other people, a weekly schedule also offers opportunities to spend more time together. So you can think about what you want to eat and when, consider the wishes of others and plan cooking evenings together.
You eat more consciously: If you know that you have already planned a delicious dish for tonight and that you have bought everything, there is less risk of you suddenly deciding on take-away and fast food dishes.
You can plan meals with regional ingredients: Before you set up your meal plan for the next week, you can find out which products are currently in season in Germany. You can find out, for example, in our seasonal calendar. So you can consciously plan dishes that consist mainly of regional and seasonal foods.

Note: In order to make your purchase sustainable, you should avoid plastic bags and packaging (including organic plastic bags) if possible. Instead, it is best to use cloth bags and reusable fruit and vegetable nets. At weekly markets and in farm shops, for example, vendors almost always offer fruit and vegetables without packaging. Here you can also get a particularly large number of products from regional cultivation and in organic quality.
