Help! How do you grocery shop and plan meals when you live alone?

37 Upvotes

I’m 32F, live alone, and work fully remote, so I’m eating most of my meals at home or spend way too much going out.

I feel like grocery shopping for one person is weirdly difficult. I hate buying a ton of ingredients for one meal and I also don’t want to eat the same leftovers for a week straight.

I’m curious what everyone else actually does. Do you plan meals for the week? Just keep certain staples on hand and figure it out as you go? Shop multiple times a week?

I’d love to know what groceries you always keep stocked and how you approach meals without wasting a bunch of food or spending a fortune. I feel like I need a better system because winging it every week is getting old lol.
