There is no doubt that many Australian families have been feeling the financial straits as everything from groceries to petrol seems to be on the rise!
But despite all these price hikes, eating healthy doesn’t have to break the bank!
as part of 28 day challenge We create meal plans and recipes for you and your family that are not only healthy and delicious, but also budget and family friendly.
In fact, we put together a 7-day meal plan and calculated (on average) how much each day when you prepare three healthy meals and three healthy snacks will set you back.
And the total: $7 a day! (Based on grocery prices in February 2023).
On average, it’s less than $7 a day for all of your daily meals and snacks. That works out to almost $41.29 a week on groceries for healthy eating!
