I try to meal plan because of the price of groceries, and I do pretty well - but my savior is taking Sunday night (cuz shew my kitchen gets too hot and I can't do it in the day) and prep all the meats and all the rice & pasta I'll need for the week and then freeze it. That way when I'm ready for a meal I have my own homemade freezer meals that are so much cheaper. Only thing left to do in the moment is cook vegetables that can't be frozen or prepare leafy greens, etc. It helps me so much. I was getting lazy and relying on doordash way too often or frozen convenience meals and BOY OH BOY was it getting too expensive. Right now I have a soy sauce w/sesame seed salmon and 2 types of baked chicken (spicy and olive oil/lemon herb) already cooked and in the freezer ready to microwave, and 2 batches of rice (mexican and japanese style) in the fridge. I also had pasta in the fridge earlier this week from meal prep night but that's long gone. It also freezes well though! Trick is to freeze the sauce separately and toss the pasta in some olive oil before freezing. That way the pasta doesn't absorb the sauce and become too soft. And the noodles don't stick to each other.

I TRY to plan weekly. I always make sure I stay stocked with our main proteins for dinner each week (chicken, fish, beef)...and I always have emergency frozen pizza for the days when the 'plan' just won't work! 😊

Have never really meal planned. I just go to Walmart willy-nilly.

You have to cook a new meal everyday? One meal at my house is about to last 2 to 3 days depending on what it is

I do 😣 I don’t think my husband would want to eat the same meal in row.. Most the time there’s nothing leftover.
