Meal planning is a big part of our life.
Our lives are busy. Between rugby, volleyball and other responsibilities/appointments, it’s rare that we have a whole night where neither of us has some sort of obligation or sports practice or game or playing board games with friends or something. On those occasional days where we don’t have something scheduled, we typically find at least a small thing to make sure we’re occupied - going for a run or to the gym, taking the dog on a longer walk, etc.
Given all of this, we almost never have the time to go to the grocery store for more than one or two quick things during the week.
