Choosing food

A shopping list

To manage time, energy and money when choosing food you should:

  • plan meals to reduce the amount of times you need to shop for food
  • choose ingredients for dishes that will save time and money
  • choose local and seasonal food
  • think about the best value for money, for example a whole melon may be better value than a prepared melon
