When you’ve had a busy day, cooking up dinner needs to be quick and easy.

One mum has a genius way to cut down on the time it takes each day.

Jessica Bonnette posted a picture of her idea on TheALDINerd.com Community Facebook page.

She showed how she does a weekly shop and splits each meal into a basket, with a note attached for all the chilled ingredients she needs to add.

Although it might take some time at the weekend, it means everything is in one place for you to put together after a tiring day of work and you make sure you have everything for the meal before you start.

Jessica explains: ‘Aldi shopped today and set up meals for the week! My mom and I have a great system set up lately. We put the cans, sauces, boxes, anything that doesn’t need to be refrigerated for a meal in one of these and plan a meal completely. Sides, desserts, and all!

‘Anything cold that would need to be added goes on a sticky note in the back! We pull the box out when we get home from work and have everything ready. It’s a great system, honestly. We set it up for the week on one night of the week and it’s ready to go.’

Jessica used plastic baskets that can be picked up for a few pounds but you could also use boxes or anything big enough to keep all the food for that meal in one place.

Other people loved the idea and the post racked up over 5,800 likes.

One person said: ‘Genius. Game changer. Thank you for sharing!’

Another added: ‘Love this idea! Not only a great time saver for during the week. It is a great way to also make sure you did not forget something for a meal before you start making it.’
