Hey, Big and Little Spoons! 🥄

When we started Spoonfeed last year, someone said to us that "following offers is like letting the supermarket decide what you should eat".

First, it's a very recent thing that you can even find an ingredient all year round. And you pay for that convenience. Seasonal cycles still exist, just as they have done so forever. And it's more sustainable - not to mention flavourful - to follow those cycles, which in turn affect supermarket promotions.

Belgian supermarkets are generally expensive, but their offers can be crazy. Last year, Albert Heijn ran a 'Buy 2, Get 5 Free' promotion. Colruyt followed and it is assumed that they made a loss doing so.

In short, following offers makes sense for your wallet and gives variety and local context to your week's meals. Yellow courgettes in summer, pumpkins in autumn, Brussels sprouts in winter... you get the idea.

For your wallet, what it really means is spending just ~€25 a week on groceries. Next week, we stick to that target: €24.11 per person. That's €1.20 a portion.

Join us in making a varied week of Mexican meatballs, spaghetti caponata, and more. Find below your meal plan, offers of the week ⭐ and full shopping list.
