yep me too. I shop once a fortnight on pay week, without Darcy as she adds too many things lol. Preferably without DH also.
As for staples, every fortnight I buy white vinegar, bicarb, flours, eggs, butter, cheese, milk, bread and yoghurt. The rest is what I've planned.
I have a huge list of meals we like - about 60 and just pick what I feel like. Then I get meat to match and veges that are in season and go with most. I don't often cook to a recipe unless it's something I want to try. Any veges left over I make soup with.
I make most of our snacks or we have fruit/yoghurt.
Nate eats exactly what we eat so theres nothing separate for him.
I'm lucky to have a big pantry though so if there is stuff that we use regularly on special I can buy lots. I also have 3 freezer spaces so usually we buy meat in bulk.
