The cost of the Nutribuddy meal plan

If you have already seen my My First Impressions of Nutribuddy post then you will know that that I am reviewing the Nurtribuddy weight loss kit for two weeks.

In the kit came a five day meal plan and because I did feel that the meal plan looked quite expensive I have used mySupermarket to find out where the cheapest main stream super market can make the menu for the least amount of money.

I will be listing the ingredients, not the recipes as I don't want to give Nutribuddy's meal plan away for free.

Please bear in mind that I have inserted every item on the menu, as if you have a completely empty kitchen.

If the menu calls for salt then that is going on the list.

Because some items are in more than one meal if it has been "purchased"  already then I will not add that to cost of the meals that day.

Hopefully that made sense!

The day one  would set you back £39.71 from Morrisons, which was the cheapest result on mySupermarket.

Day two would set you back £18.87 from Asda, which was the cheapest on mySupermarket.
This figure was made on the assumption that you would have items left over from the day before like coconut oil and agave syrup.

The third menu would set you back £35.56 from Asda, which again was the cheapest, this was again after exclude items such as the organic chicken breast which I bought in a pack of two on day one.

On the fourth day you would have to fork out another £18.50, again from Asda. Wheatgerm is not available at Asda so you would have to go to Morrisons to pick some up for £1.41, which I have included in the total.

The final day costs £18.19 from Asda but you would have to go to Tesco for the cheapest Quails Eggs which cost £2.69 and I have included the cost in the total.

So five days worth of food would set you back £130.83, more shocking than that the recommended serving size for each of the meals if for one person.

I would struggle to spend that amount of money on food for an entire month let alone in five days.


 In fact I am sure my mum used to feed our family of six on a food budget of around £100 for an entire week.

I do think meal plans like this put people off eating more healthily because people just look at it and think

 "it's too expensive to eat healthy foods"

Honestly, with meal plans like this I can't really blame them but it can be done if you plan ahead.
