Am trying to work out better ways of healthy eating that will also reduce the grocery bill. I find myself drawn to the prepackaged salad mixes and some veg mixes which are more expensive but I am not wasting any which I tend to do if I buy bags of carrots, spuds etc.

I do that @Former-Member, but I am also shopping for just a day ahead - easier to do when shops are close by - because we are struggling for space in the fridge, freezer and cupboards. I am buying, then using, and then it is gone. If things are overstocked for me (!) then I plan meals around them until they can be used up, but still on that day to day basis.

As I live out of town I do like to have enough in the freezer, it is the fresh stuff @Faith-and-Hope, today I tossed out 2 x cucumbers, some celery sticks, half a jar of salsa and a mouldy lamb chop.
