Can you believe it’s the end of the summer holidays already? This is the time that most of us start thinking about the coming academic year and how we’ll create positive changes to make our families lives easier. One thing that can really make a difference is having a meal plan and making use of ideas like batch cooking.

Here at Ó Crualaoi (online butchers in Cork), we’ve got you and your family in mind, and we want to save you time and money this term. All of your family favourites are tastier and more cost effective when you buy great quality meat from our online shop. Our back to school value pack is designed to make life easier for you, so take a look online today.

Our Top Tips For Back To School

1. Make lists. We love list making, and it’s a great way to plan ahead and ensure that your family enjoy healthy and nutritious meals every day. Buying your high quality meat in bulk means you can plan exactly what you want to eat and create your favourite meals at short notice.

2. Be versatile. Being flexible with your menu gives you a chance to create a variety of meals from your favourite meat cuts. For example, our round steak mince is a great base for several different meals such as spaghetti bolognaise and potato-topped pie.

3. Stock up on popular items. When you’re busy taking care of your family, it’s not easy to find the time to shop each day. Stocking up your freezer with essentials and food you know your children will eat means you can produce meals and snacks they’ll love at any time. Try our bulk bags of chicken so you can create delicious meals when you need them.

4. Make the most of convenient shopping. When you shop online with us, you can choose ‘home delivery’ or ‘click & collect’, so that you can order and pay online and then pick up your shopping from your local Ó Crualaoi store.

5. Try something new. If you find yourself getting bored with cooking the same old dishes, inspire yourself with a challenge to cook something new every week. You could ask teenagers to take responsibility for a night of cooking, or get everyone involved with selecting new ideas to try.
