Starting at planning menus - Any advice? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm looking to have tasty and balanced food while maintaining a reasonable budget and being more organised.
I know how to cook. I already have tasty yet not complicated meals I'm use to make but I never needed to be organised about it before.

So I decided to start to write menu in advance, do a some meal prepping probably a bit of batch cooking.
I found resources online to start following a plan but maybe you have advices for the beginner that I am.

Thank you!

There is a lot of things I excluse from my diet so I'm never very attracted by this type of offer. Did you have a good experience related to allergies, veganism or alike? What would be the difference btw that and buying already cookies meal from restaurant I know and trust? Appart from the pleasure of cooking obviously ʘ‿ʘ

They allow up to 5 allergies/dislikes. The difference is cost. By putting together 3 meals with one set of ingredients, it really helps cut the cost of food down.
