Who Are We Anyway?

If you are new here and wondering who is talking about how to save money on your groceries, then I'd like to introduce myself and my 6 kids (who now almost half are adults!).

My name is Karen, and I am a single, working parent. CHMP began because I wanted to feed my family healthy foods for less whilst still having enough to pay for expensive kids sports. With a background in nutrition and fitness and a state champion basketballer as a child myself, I know the importance of eating well and living an active lifestyle.

Unfortunately quite recently, I had gotten to a point where I didn't have consistent income, yet I still had plenty of mouths to feed. I was struggling to keep food costs low whilst eating a fresh, healthy diet full of variety. It meant that I was constantly thinking about food - the cost of it, what I was going to feed everyone today, tomorrow and the next day as well as how to make sure that it stayed interesting and not repetitive. I wasn't looking for chef inspired food, I was looking for hearty and nutritious meals that cost less. The mental stress, the unknown load that we carry, was becoming a huge burden, time waster and energy sucker. I was overwhelmed, tired and frustrated which would make me want to eat junk food and crave instant snacks.

I cracked it when I realised that I wasn't the only one looking for an 'instant food hit' in the kitchen, the kids were following my lead as well.

We had started to spend a fortune on processed food and it had to stop.

It was time for a kitchen transformation, and so I pulled out my old Meal Planners from when I was struggling with money and health in a DV relationship because I knew they had worked in the past and I was desperate for them to work for me now.

It was time to go back to the basics, to remember how to budget and to have a goal, to clean out my kitchen, pull out some simple recipes, work out the cost of the food for the week and create myself a shopping list.

The old planners were out of date and since the cost of food has risen dramatically, I needed to redo it all to be ready for the current times.

It was a shock to see that in 2019 we could feed our family for $25 per person a week. That is not reasonable for now, however I am consistently spending approximately $200 per week for 5 people (including 1 adult, 3 teens and 1 child) including all meals and ensuring it meets the healthy food guidelines.

I have now gone through all of the old documents and put it together in an easy to follow 'Busy Parents Guide' to give you a brief overview on how to start meal planning and reducing your grocery spend or if you prefer a bit more detail with some recipe ideas and examples, then grab yourself the 'Cheap Healthy Meal Planner' which includes a Costing Calculator Template.

I am now feeling a lot more confident and less stressed in the kitchen when I pre-plan what I am making for the week whilst knowing it's helping to keep my whole family stay healthy and freeing up time for us to enjoy making memories together with our active lifestyle.

I owe my renewed sense of time, money and freedom to meal planning and I am so thankful.

Is it your turn to make a change?
