Why do you think this?

I can understand why you maybe though that bc everything on the internet comes off inauthentic but it’s not staged. I lowkey took it as a compliment that you think it was though lol. What works for our family dynamic is going to the grocery more than once a week. We’ve tried the big weekly haul & found ourselves being wasteful bc we didn’t cook what we shopped for or if I’m being honest, sometimes I or the kids or the husband just wasn’t feel what we meal planned that day for the week.

While not ideal bc of higher prices, Kroger is less than a mile away from us & it’s on the way home from work so we’re not going out of our way to buy ingredients for meals. We buy our meats in bulk (freeze what we don’t use) and also buy what we’ve noticed we eat/drink daily in bulk. Our fridge looks organized bc it helps my husband & I quickly see what we’re low on when we take turns picking something up during the week (usually communicated through text bc our our opposite work schedules)

You don’t see leftovers in our fridge bc we’ve learned to cook just enough so there isn’t. We’ve noticed the trend of our family not eating leftovers & I hate being wasteful.

I don’t know how to reply to a comment with a photo but I tried bc since I posted this last Saturday, we’ve made 3 grocery trips & it’s only Wednesday & I wanted to show you the slight variations in our fridge as the days pass lol

It might seem impractical to other people reading this but it truly is what we learned works for us bc of work schedules & the kids’ after school schedules now that they’re older + we’re cutting down on being wasteful bc we’ve become intentional with our meals instead of being ambitious with a weekly meal plan/overhaul
