Hi, my name is Ruth and this is the story behind Menu In A Box.

From a double income no-kids situation to a full-time stay-at-home mum with two kids under 2, I have become extremely conscious of saving money and time in the kitchen. I also entertain on a weekly basis and found it difficult to always have a meal on the table. The solution was to pay close attention to the organisation of my pantry and weekly menu.

Menu In A Box was born out of frustration -

• I was making extra trips to the supermarket for 1 missing ingredient
• I was blowing my budget as I bought impulse items
• STILL I did not know what was for dinner every night of the week
• There was little variety of meals
• I was wasting vegetables by overbuying
• My family was suffering (starving) due to my lack of planning!
• …I realised I simply DON’T have the time or money to afford my disorganisation!!

So, I decided to combat my disorganisation with one final solution - menu planning!

With two small babies I don’t ever want to ask myself “what’s for dinner tonight” again! I don’t have the time to think about a menu, gather recipes, write a shopping list (hoping it won’t cost too much), waste precious time wandering the supermarket aisles etc….

With Menu In A Box I have organised, once and for all -

• My pantry
• My menu
• My budget
• My time

Because of my organisation I can spend more time with my family, saving money towards things that matter. I consider that a great thing! I never go shopping without my shopping list and my family have at great variety of meals every week. I always have a meal on the table and I feel like a better Mum because of this.

Menu In A Box is about sharing these time, money and stress saving benefits with you. It works for me and my hectic life, it will work for you too. I look forward to hearing how Menu In A Box has changed your family life!

All the best,

Ruth
