So I buy 1-3 dinners at a time.
I used to be able to buy 5-7, had a little more time freedom, and able to manage it. And it wasn’t a big deal if my bell peppers ‘died’ and went mushy before I ate them. Now, they cost like 4.99-6.99, depending. Multiply that by 6x per month.. I can’t do it anymore.
So I plan for 3 days or less.
This is us, too. We generally know our schedules 2-3 days out, but beyond that, things change. We buy enough for the nights we can commit to, then do another trip a few days later.
