Reply #8: I usually only shop once a month these days, and we eat some pretty weird food, but

[SoCalDem]

it's quite pricey these days..

weird food=scratch waffles (amazingly cheap) for dinner sometimes...or fruit & cheese for dinner or cereal..

and I make a lot of ONE-pan dinners that are great for left overs..

and I really don't cook all that much these days..

My husband buys his lunch at work, and I don't eat breakfast or lunch..

I usually cook something on Monday nights... he has the leftovers on Tuesday ( I bowl on Tues night).. We both bowl on Wed so we grab a snack there and call it dinner.. We eat out every Thursday night & bring half home in a doggie bag..that's dinner Friday night.. Sat & Sun I usually make homemade pizza or throw something together..

My husband is perfectly happy with sandwiches for lunch on the weekend..

We could got 2 months between shopping except for the dairy stuff he likes..we don't drink milk but I routinely throw a lot of the small containers away that I do buy for cooking (and then never use)..
