Ran into an old lady at Aldi who showed me her meal prep system
She had this binder with plastic sleeves full of recipe cards sorted by day of the week, and she told me she spends 30 bucks every Sunday to cover all dinners. We talked for 10 minutes in the canned veggie aisle and now I'm trying her method with frozen broccoli and rotisserie chicken. Anyone else got a weird grocery ritual that actually works?

Is it really a system though if it depends on finding the exact deals and stock at one specific store each week? I tried outlining my dinners by day too, but life keeps throwing curveballs like leftover takeout that throws the whole plan off. Honestly just having a rough idea of what I'm cooking for the week and buying the basics is way less stressful for me.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me realize how much we all just crave a little order in the chaos, even if it's just a binder full of cheap dinner ideas. It's like people are secretly trying to outsmart the mess of modern life one grocery trip at a time.
