If saving money and eating better are top of your to-do list for 2026, Nathan Anthony has you covered.

The Northern Irish recipe writer and social media sensation is back with a new book, Bored Of Lunch: Meal Planner.

Here are his top tips for planning your way to better meals, and a healthier bank balance too...

“When you don't plan your food shop, you come home, like, ‘I bought peas.’ And there's already peas in the freezer. [You think] ‘No, I have not been organised at all here’,” says Anthony, knowing exactly how it feels.

Even small amounts of forward planning can help keep you on track. “If there's five days and I'm organised for two or three of them, then I've made some type of win that week,” says Anthony.
