Wow. I just this second left a comment on your blog Docwitch. Freaky. I think the Bread Winner would stand on his head and whistle the Hallelujah Chorus from his rear before he would do the food shopping. Which is fine by me. I like to at least control the incoming ingredients if I have to then write a meal plan around them.

That’s what I’ve been doing for about a year now, kind of by accident (since the Bloke took over the shopping).
I used to do what you do and create a meal plan and then follow it by the shopping, but now I have less control over the process and often get a few surprises with what the Bloke brings home - which is whatever is available/in season. So I go from there. It can sometimes be a real challenge to come up with something! Would help having yummy vegies growing in your garden.

Me too Kel! I’m putting it together now.
I have to do supermarket first Pen. Otherwise I’d be there on the weekend and that would make me cry. I love spending less and less there but at least I have a good independent so I don’t feel bad about what I do buy there.

I do our fruit and veg shop first, then a meal plan and then a supermarket shop over the next day or two. We spend most of our money on fresh food and buy less and less at the supermarket.
