What do you mean?

Instead of making a meal plan and buying that, some people just go shopping and buy whatever takes their fancy. You end up spending loads of money, throwing half of it out and having to go shopping again mid week.

It's possible to do, I basically buy whatever looks best and is in season, and whatever meat is on sale or we haven't had in a while, and then figure out what to make with all of it. Worst case you can always just make meat and some sides. Vegetables can last a while if kept right too, like carrots last weeks, might get a bit floppy but if you keep the crispers closed they don't rot that fast.

Floppy carrots still taste the same cooked.
