What to check before the grocery shop

In the grocery aisle, it’s surprisingly hard to remember what’s in the fridge door. Have a look before you leave.

  1. 01

    Check the things you tend to forget.

    Condiments, butter, half a bag of rice. A quick look through the fridge and pantry beats buying another “just in case.”

  2. 02

    Give one ingredient a job.

    That half-bag of spinach could go into an omelet or a lunch wrap. Pick something to make with what you have, then list what’s missing.

  3. 03

    Add the everyday stuff.

    Oats, lunchbox snacks, the coffee you finished this morning. The meal plan won’t cover everything. Add those before you head out, too.
