I don’t have close access to shops or a market at all. Most things are within half an hours drive though, so I have to make some sort of plan, so I’m not forever driving somewhere for a couple of things.
I find shopping twice a week is more economical nowadays, as it makes the planning a bit more flexible. I always used to do one big shop when I was working, for quickness, but find if I do that now, things get thrown away, which I hate doing.
I’m not great at planning, but now it’s just me to cook for, it should be easier, once I overcome my apathy, and move away from the baked potatoes!
