I found myself in a unique position this past week: My cupboards were bare. Completely. And I had to stock my kitchen from scratch.
I spent $187 and still things look empty. However, it has given me the chance to try out a theory.
A normal-sized fridge is too big for a 2-person household in my opinion. My plan is to buy just enough groceries to make meals lasting two weeks. I will make meal plans and corresponding grocery lists, then not go shopping again until that food is gone.
I hate throwing food away - I feel it is a sad, sad waste - and I think this plan will limit the wasted foods. It should also help me save money, something I am constantly concerned about doing.
Only a select number of door-items carry over: marinades, sauces, condiments.
I'll let you know how it goes!
