Mr D Food Shares Five Ways to Simplify your Weekly Meal Planning
Let’s face it – modern life is a juggling act, and sometimes it feels like you’re performing in a three-ring circus. Between work, family, fitness, and trying to remember to drink enough water, who has time to roam the grocery aisles and think up a new meal every evening? Enter Mr D groceries delivering Pick n Pay products, the dynamic duo that’s here to save the day with groceries delivered in an hour at in-store prices – this effortless convenience means meal prep and weekly planning becomes a breeze!
1. Master the art of meal planning
First things first – plan your meals. Grab a cup of coffee (or wine, we get it) and set aside some time to decide what’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for the work week. Jot down the items and ingredients that you need and head to the Mr D app to place your order. With groceries delivered in an hour at in-store prices, you can stick to your list without the costly impulse buys. No more walking out with a giant bag of Whispers and forgetting the milk!
2. Batch cook like a pro
When your groceries arrive (in record time, no less), get ready to channel your inner chef. Batch cooking is your best friend when it comes to saving time and money. Cook up large quantities of staples like grains and beans, stews, pastas, and sauces, and pre-peel and chop veggies and fruit, then portion them into containers and place in the fridge or freezer. This means during the week it’s easy to mix and match your pre-cooked ingredients – faster than you can say “take-out”!

Remember the days of watching a cooking show, marveling at the delicious dishes, then facing the harsh reality of a bare kitchen?
3. Fresh produce hack
Thanks to speedy delivery, you get the freshest produce available – at in-store prices. Plan to use perishable items early in the week and save heartier veggies for later. This way, you enjoy your greens at their peak and reduce waste. It’s like having a farm-to-table experience without leaving your kitchen.
4. Ready-made meals for the win
While you may have the best intentions to pre-cook five meals for the week ahead – the truth is, you don’t need to! You can also easily order some delicious ready-made meal options – it’s like meal prep on steroids! Someone’s done all the hard graft for you – and the proof is in the pudding (and pasta)! These options can be lifesavers, giving you a break while still enjoying a delicious, home-style meal. Think of it as the culinary equivalent of a spa day.
5. Organise like a boss
When your groceries arrive, spend a few minutes organising them. Place frequently used items within easy reach and label your containers. A tidy kitchen not only looks good (on Instagram and in real life) but also makes cooking less of a chore. Plus, you’ll feel like a domestic deity every time you open your pantry cupboard.
Grocery delivery with Mr D and Pick n Pay really is a game-changer for meal prep and planning. Embrace the convenience, get organised, and enjoy nutritious, home-cooked meals with minimal fuss. A no-brainer, right?
