We also plan shopping .proper old school style. We.ll cook fresh twice a week like a stew or spagbol. Do loads so we get bout six dinners. Have it one night. Cook summet night after. Then have what we cooked first night next night and so on freeze some so week after we just defrost and warm up what we cooked before. Saves pennies and great when you got a nice meal all week that you just have to warm up
We do something similar... Jane plans dinners and from there she can plan shopping. We only buy what we need. We cook big bowls of curry or chilli and lasagna in take away boxes and what not then freeze them off and then use them as and when eat them.. got quite a mixture but it saves a fortune and no waste.
