Weekly Meal Planning: The Guide for Canadian Families on a Tight Budget

The average Canadian family spends between $300 and $450 per week on groceries. Yet according to Second Harvest, nearly half of all food produced in Canada is lost or wasted every year. That hits hard on the wallet, and most of it is completely avoidable.Weekly meal planning is the simplest tool you have to take back control of your grocery bill. You don't need to be a great cook or spend hours on it. With the right approach, 30 minutes on Sunday can save you $100 or more per week, and put an end to the daily "what's for dinner?" stress that drains everyone by the end of the day.Here's how to actually do it, with the reality of Canadian family life in mind.
