In the most expensive grocery market in Australia and New Zealand history, The Grocery Strategist is the first “transactional” cookbook designed to end basket shock.
Built on the 6-Bag Method, this book bridges the gap between the supermarket aisle and your dinner table, providing 80 high-yield, zero-waste recipes that average just $2.60 per serve.
Featuring geo-synced QR codes that populate your Woolworths, Coles, or Countdown app instantly, this is the ultimate financial tool for the modern kitchen.
The Kitchen is the New Stock Market:Â
In 2025, the average household in Australia and New Zealand is suffering from “Iceberg Inflation”—where the hidden costs of food waste, decision fatigue, and $20 one-use spice jars are draining thousands from family budgets.
The Grocery Strategist isn’t just a collection of flavors; it is a tactical manual for the modern economy.
Written for the strategist who wants to eat like a foodie but save like a CFO, this book flips the traditional culinary model on its head. We don’t ask “What do you want to eat?” We ask, “What is the most efficient way to shop?”

The 6-Bag Method: A Revolution in Utility
Most cookbooks fail because they require a “treasure hunt” for ingredients. This book is organized by The Manifest. Every chapter starts with a specific, curated bag of groceries designed to yield 10–15 overlapping, zero-waste recipes.
-
The Green Bag: Mastering high-yield, long-life produce.
-
The Protein Bulk-Buy: Leveraging the economy of scale without the boredom.
-
The Pantry Audit: Transforming dry staples into premium meals.
-
The Half-Price Special: Navigating seasonal gluts and “manager’s specials.”
-
The Freezer-Fill: Harnessing the power of frozen “nutrient-bombs.”
-
The Social Bag: Entertaining a crowd for under $5 a head.
Why This Book is Different:
-
80 Precision Recipes: Every dish includes prep time, cook time, and a “Price-per-Plate” metric calculated in local currency.
-
Geo-Synced Shopping: Scan the QR code at the start of any chapter to instantly populate your Woolworths, Coles, or Countdown app with a list sorted by aisle.
-
The “Final Audit” Chapter: A dedicated section on “scraps” and “fridge-bottoms” to ensure your food waste (and money) hits 0%.
-
Functional Health: High-protein, high-volume eating logic that doesn’t rely on expensive, imported “superfood” marketing.
The “Winning” Metric
Our success isn’t measured by how pretty the photos are (though they are stunning). Success is measured by the $3,120 the average family of four will return to their bank account in the first year of using this system.

What people are saying about this book
“With grocery prices skyrocketing in Sydney, I was ready to give up on eating well. This book changed everything. It’s not just about the recipes—it’s the system. The 6-Bag Method helped me slash my weekly Woolies bill by $70, and I’m actually throwing away zero food. It’s the smartest ‘investment’ I’ve made this year.”
“I own dozens of celebrity cookbooks, but they all sit on the shelf because I can’t afford the 20-ingredient shopping lists. The Grocery Strategist is different. I love that I can scan a QR code and my Coles app is ready to go. The ‘Price-per-Plate’ metric is honest and accurate. This is the only book I use now.”
“In New Zealand, we’ve been feeling the pinch at the checkout more than ever. This book is a masterclass in efficiency. The ‘Final Audit’ chapter is a revelation—I’ve turned wilted spinach and stale bread into meals my kids actually ask for. If you’re tired of ‘basket shock’ at Countdown, buy this book.”
“I’m a busy professional and I hate grocery shopping. Being able to scan a chapter and have the ‘Manifest’ populate in my shopping app sorted by aisle saves me at least an hour every weekend. The recipes are high-protein and delicious, but the time saved is the real winner for me.”
“Usually, ‘budget’ cooking means bland food. Not here. The Grocery Strategist treats the kitchen like a business—maximizing every dollar without sacrificing flavor. The Bulk Protein Bag strategy is genius; I’m eating better than I was when I was spending double the money.”
“As a Mum of three, decision fatigue is my biggest enemy. This book removes the ‘what’s for dinner?’ stress entirely because the Bag Method already decided it for me at the start of the week. It’s practical, aesthetic, and incredibly effective. Every household in Australia needs a copy.”
