Youtube group Sorted Food is launching its first weekly meal planning tool that will enable home-cooks to save 30% on their food bills.
The social media movement dedicated to cooking and inspiring millions to get joy from food is aiming to help consumers reduce their food bills amid the cost-of-living crisis.
With food prices soaring and people’s lives busier than ever, the new tool is perfectly timed to take the stress out of cooking meals on a budget.
Research carried out by Sorted Food found that 93% of shoppers are spending more on food than they’d planned to and 70% of consumers feel their large food shops don’t stretch as far as they’d hoped.
The research also revealed that over half of shoppers (52%) – who are spending more on their food shop – are annoyed but feel there is nothing they can do about it. Whilst a third of shoppers (35%) worry about how they will afford other items throughout the week.

To help support the growing number of home-cooks who want to cook on a tight budget, the YouTube stars have redeveloped their revolutionary meal planning app Sidekick. Users can now choose six meals per week for no additional fee (£4.99 per month, first month free).
Sidekick features the innovative ‘Recipe Pack’ tool, where each week they publish a wide choice of recipe packs all designed to share ingredients and limit food waste.
“We’ve been hearing lots from our community about how worried they are about rising food prices, how they’d like to learn how to shop smarter and how stressful cooking meals on a budget can be,” Sorted Food co-founder, Jamie Spafford said.
“With lives busier than ever, we believe the solution is one simple tool to help people with their meal planning, shopping, and cooking – helping us all to become awesome home cooks.
He added: “We’ve created Sidekick to be like the ‘chef in your pocket’, helping everyone to be the hero of their kitchen no matter what their skill level or budget.”
