They could be making meals with that just regular mealsMost of that is perishable - people planning to freeze all that stuff?
Of the list the person mentioned:
Rice-- we already had some but used that either Tuesday or Wednesday and made a spinach and rice with chicken and cheese casserole
Onions--used that in 2 recipes so far since buying some Thursday night (I think we bought 2 as we already had half a one left over)
Garlic (we buy minced garlic in a jar anyways so we don't actively buy that--maybe the person was also meaning that)
Pasta--we made spaghetti earlier this week, made 1 of the 2 recipes we have planned Friday night with already bought months ago pasta.
Pasta sauce--used for spaghetti plus we needed some for a recipe we plan to make that can be frozen
Chicken--got a rotissere chicken from Costco and have used it for 2 recipes (one of which we made and froze it so it will be for 2+ meals) plus we have canned chicken to use
Beef--we had 3 lbs left but needed another 1.5 lbs for another recipe so we got that (we'll be exhausting our 3lb we already have for other recipes). We couldn't get our normal 5lb roll though but we did get a 2.25lb fresh package; we used 1.5lbs for chili made yesterday
Dry and canned beans--got pinto beans for the chili
Bread except for yucky bread like malt rye--got bagels for breakfast for me during the week, 2 loaves of bread with 1 frozen. My husband makes sandwiches often to take to work for lunch and I also eat sandwiches often for lunch.
Apples--picked up some of that as well for lunch items.
It's just my husband and I so we have leftovers which spreads out how many days we have meals for. This morning was breakfast leftovers from yesterday morning, tonight is leftovers from Friday night's dinner, tomorrow night is leftovers from Saturday night's dinner.
