I tend to go shopping early and on Friday when I went to do the weekend shopping the Maris Piper spuds all had a sell by date of that day and the carrots just had two days life left in them

It's quite surprising just how much food waste we get through. I'm thinking of being more efficient and making a weekly menu and only buying what we need for it.....rather than my previously less scripted buying habits Edited by Stirlingsays (15 Mar 2022 2.31pm)

Not for financial reasons more out of boredom or experimentation. I can assure you planning out a week of meals with your wife is the proverbial mix of banging your head against a brick wall and watching paint dry if my experience is anything to go by. We have eventually settled upon smaller shopping trips and an agreement on a daily basis is to be reached on deciding dinner. We do try to utilise food cupboard/fridge stalwarts better however TBH I am not entirely sure it has made any difference to our pockets but a more cohesive unit may offer very different results!

In our house we kind of settled on the system of I decide what the global direction of anything is and she implements it....in other words I'm the lazy one with ideas and she enjoys the free moaning that comes with me getting anything wrong. I'm the one who mostly cooks and she pretty much likes the menu....until she doesn't and then gets a good whinge in.
