Decided to actually meal prep this week instead of just thinking about it for the 100th time.
Made 4 containers on Sunday — rice, chicken, roasted veggies — figured that’d get me through to Wednesday at least. It barely survived to Tuesday.
Turns out I just… don’t really like eating the same thing 4 days straight, who knew (probably everyone but me).
The part that actually helped was the money side though. I wasn’t stopping at the corner store every night after work anymore, which was where most of it was quietly disappearing.
Spent about $22 on groceries for the whole batch, which is less than what 2 “just grabbing something” nights usually cost me!
Not doing the exact same batch again, but I think I’ll keep some version going. Smaller next time, maybe 2 containers instead of 4, so I’m not staring at the same lunch by day two.
My hands are still kind of sore from a knitting mishap a couple days ago, so chopping veggies for an hour wasnt exactly fun, but it got done.
