Pick a few meals
You don't need a different meal every day. Pick 3 or 4 meals you like and repeat them. Simple is good.
Breakfast idea. Cereal with milk and a banana.
Lunch idea. A sandwich, baby carrots, and an apple.
Dinner idea. Pasta with sauce and a side of vegetables.
Make a shopping list
Write down everything your meals need. Check what you already have first, so you don't buy it twice.
- List the food for each meal.
- Add snacks and drinks.
- Add basics you're out of, like bread or milk.
- Bring the list (or put it on your phone).
At the store
Stores are sorted into sections — fruits and veggies, bread, frozen food, and so on. Signs hang above the aisles to help you find things.
