I didn’t realize how much money I was wasting on food until I actually paid attention.
Every week it was the same:
– buying random groceries
– forgetting what I already had
– cooking something last minute
– throwing food away at the end of the week
And the worst part — every evening I had the same question:
“What should we eat today?”
It sounds simple, but after work + life, it becomes surprisingly stressful.
So I tried to fix it for myself.
I built a simple tool that:
– plans meals for the whole week
– generates a shopping list automatically
– keeps things minimal (no 20 ingredients recipes)
Now the difference is honestly crazy:
– I spend less time thinking about food
– fewer grocery trips
– almost no wasted food
I’m still improving it, but even this version already helped me a lot.
Curious — how do you guys handle meal planning?
Do you plan ahead or just figure it out daily?
