• Maybe it’s just a me thing, I absolutely hate having to plan meals for several days in advance, I’d much rather make frequent short stops if I don’t have to go out of the way for it. Plus worrying about produce going bad or not being able to have produce the few days before you go shopping

      That’s fair. My diet is pretty much beans, rice, and tortillas so I don’t think too hard about what groceries I need. Plus it’s nice to buy silly amounts of stuff at wholesale stores

      I was like this when I was young.

      As my career and home life became more demanding of my time, the luxury of just meandering to the local grocer/grocery store every evening eventually faded.

      Meal prep is essential for me every Sunday. There is zero waste if you buy the ingredients you require, cook, and then freeze. Ultimately this method is just such a more efficient use of time and resources for me personally.
