Do you plan your meals for the week, and shop accordingly?Or are you well stocked and just cook what you feel like at the time?

What's you average week in terms of meals?

just cook whatever i feel like, although yea do u have to grocery shop quite a bit(2-3x a week). If we've had 2-3 days of meats, then i'll usually be in a mood for sabzi. Usually have a lot of variety of veggies in the house to make, cuz i love my veggies

Haven't been shopping enough last few weeks. Today I was hungry n wanted some pasta but there was none. So I found an opened packet of Couscous and had that with soem tasty homemade sauce and stuff from the freezer. The couscous tasted old

Time for me to go shopping, I think.

Terrible I know. I chucked an old cabbage and an old aubergine away this morning. I got a feeling there is some old stuff still left in the fridge. Mr Halwa has declared he is going to come home and throw absolutely everything out of the fridge b4 we go food shopping again. I proclaim innocence, I emptied it last week!

No pasta, no chicken, no fresh vegetables... Oh how sad is that. Don't want rice n curry.

I usually plan my meals.

Going by my own schedule, I cook one day and have leftovers the net day. Twice a week we eat out, for lunch or dinner. i make a careful list of waht I will need, down to what quantity.

Then I throw it out and do hwatever the heck i feel like doing.
