Recently it's been kind of chilly and wet and we just haven't felt like doing our normal shopping which is always kind of a big enterprise. So day by day I've been trying to cobble meals together with what we have on hand. This started more than two weeks ago, and I could probably stretch it out another week at least. (N.B., no going out or takeout.. that would be 'cheating'!) The only added item I had DH pick up was a package of eggs. It's not that I plan to survive a siege.. just the "normal" contents of a (small) fridge/freezer and pantry. I actually like the bare fridge since it makes me focus and things are not 'going missing', but it's very rare situation that also makes me feel incomplete.. like I'm getting ready to move or something.
What's your food strategy and why? (or do you not think about it?)
Also, do you see clear advantages/disadvantages to your approach? (I've gotten pretty good at keeping the fridge full to bursting without having much of anything go bad, but it still happens from time to time.. Here there are no real discounts to be had on bulk purchases, so in my equation that's not a reason for stocking up.. instead, it just must be an instinct.)
