[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would also give some serious thought to the meal boxes that are increasingly available. They are a lot pricier than buying that food separately, but they can be a helpful tool for holding you to the cooking/planning end of things. It's also worth watching how much food (if any) you are throwing away. We definitely have stretches of being worse about that, and I do find it helpful to periodically have a couple of weeks when we "eat through the pantry" to really use up what's in the freezer/fridge/etc.[/quote] We use Hello Fresh, and the kids and adults seem to like it. For someone who either doesn't like to plan and cook or just doesn't have time, this is a huge time saver. The box comes with all of the ingredients and the recipe. All you need to do is chop the stuff, mix it together, and cook it. No meal planning or grocery shopping required, and yet it's a homemade meal.[/quote]
