honestly I go in-store with the notion I need 6 different proteins for meals, what's on offer is what I choose and decide on the spot what will accompany it.

I do a dinner plan and the rest is just whatever we have lol

Working mom, husband is the chef of the family so he does most (not all) meal planning. We are considering making a master list of stsples and necessities and shelf stable items for when money is lean. That way before he does the shop he can go down the master list in the kitchen and anything that we are out or low on he can quickly add to the list

I’m a SAHM. My husband does most of this. We talk about what we will have for dinner and add it to the list together for pickup. My husband does 90% of the cooking so it’s mostly his thing.
