Meals

• Each week sit down and prepare a Money Detectives Menu Planner for the following week. This menu list will detail all meals that you are going to eat for the next 7 days. Being organised will not only save you time but also money. You won't be pondering over what to eat that day with a temptation to buy junk food as it is quicker and easier. You can also list all the ingredients / items you need that week.
  
• Get input from all family members as to what they would like to see on the menu planner. The family can all look forward to what they are going to eat and you will have great success with them eating this if they have helped to choose the meals.
  
• After completing a Money Detectives Menu Planner, the next step is to complete Money Detectives Shopping Planner. This shopping list will detail all the ingredients / items you will need to buy to make your meals.
  
• Have plenty of healthy snacks around for your family / children to avoid the temptation to eat junk food.
  
• Turn your left overs into lunches. You will amaze your work colleagues and certainly make them jealous when they smell your food.
