Stay-at-home-mums and full-time-working-mums may have some differences in our day-to-day tasks but some things are the same. We all have to take care of our children and our household, and one of the vital tasks in order to do so is grocery shopping. Let's face it, we need to buy food, so that we can cook and feed the family. When things like shampoo and detergent run out, we have to go out and get them.
Since grocery shopping is pretty much part of being a mum, it should be something that is part of our routine. However, there are some days that we just don't have the time to go down to the stores to get the things we need at home. We may be swamped by housework or our children may be asking for our attention.
A trip to the store can either be fast or it could take hours. The queue at the cashier is enough to drain me. My children are five years old and one year old and they are not fans of waiting. Half the time, my children want to get out of the queue before it is even my turn to pay.

Meal Planning Made Easy
One of the products, or to me, a service, that RedMart has come up with is Homemade By RedMart. I cook dinner for my family almost every day and thanks to Homemade By RedMart, I no longer have to drain myself just to think of what to cook. Previously, I would only think of what to do based on what I had in the refrigerator. Now, I plan ahead with the yummy dishes that RedMart has thoughtfully put together.
Whether it's Teriyaki Salmon Fillet with Zucchini, Lemony Wild Rice or Butter Chicken with Naan, the fresh ingredients for the meals are prepared and packed with a recipe card. This is different from buying microwavable meals because I can still ensure the nutrition of the food for my family.
The meal kits can be stored in the freezer for a week, so they can be bought in advance and be kept as a backup for days when I don't have time to cook many dishes.
Another great thing about these Homemade by RedMart meals is that the meals can be cooked in less than 30 minutes. Time is precious for mummies, and time saved in the kitchen means more time to do other things, like spending time with the children.
