Savannah I am so glad you asked. Ive loved everyones answers!!

I can recommend step 3 list as well for chatting about this because everyone there is thinking the same thing/ doing the same thing !

I am very lucky because here in the UK we have a great availability of supermarket online deliveries. Mine is free for over £100, and for any order £3.50 - £5.oo depending on the time. This is a great deal for that service I think.

so whatever I order comes up automatically on my 'favourites', and in pictures too which is handy. I order sundays and it gets delivered tuesdays because that suits me.

I am a great planner ahead, mostly because as before the steps, I just developed that as a survival technique... but it makes life easy now....

my favourite way of organising it is to keep staples in my store cupboard and I have a scrap of paper blu-tacked to my kitchen cupboard right by where I work,,, and a pencil... it might seem tedious to make a shopping list as-you-go but it works!

store cupboard: tins usually 3 of each
tuna
salmon
kipper
sardine

GF worcestershire sauce
GF soy sauce
balsamic vinegar
white wine vinegar
olive oil

all sorts of tinned beans/ refried/red kidney/mixed bean/etc
tin mushroom
passata sauce ( sieved tomato sauce)
a few jars curry sauce ( Pataks usually)
tinned tomato
Knorr stock cubes
rice pasta
wild rice
ww pasta

freezer
lamb mince( ground)
beef mince
chicken breast
chicken thigh
pork tenderloin
2 'instant' frozen curry meals

when I get one thing out of the freezer or cupboard, it goes on my list.I do buy other things and also we like proper sunday dinner but those freezer things are the versatile things.

Do you have space for a small freezer ? its worth it if you can because Im always cooking extra and freezing it which is great for grabbability. I started out with that by just freezing the one favourite dish ( chilli no doubt!) and increasing my repertoire
