    Go to store every day and only buy what I will start using that day.

    Eventually, I extended the time, but I had to learn what I will actually use.

      I’m fortunate, but I have time in the morning to drop my kids off at school and then hit the grocery store. School is a mile east from my house, ShopRite a mile west. I grab fresh veggies for whatever I’m making tonight, throw it in fridge, then shower and get to work. I was tired of having a plan for a dinner later in the week, but then life gets in the way.

      I try to get meats in bulk and freeze, but veggies I usually buy and eat that day, save for the bags of carrots and peppers and cucumbers that we snack on. We do admittedly lose a cucumber every so often.
