Hey guys! I thought I’d pop on today and share a really simple grocery list you can use to create quick and easy meals for one through the course of a work week. Maybe you’re trying to limit eating out to save a little dough for your weekend or maybe you just don’t have the cash flow right now to get fancy. Whatever the reason, I’ve got you covered. Pick up these items and combine them with spices and other pantry staples you probably already have on hand. These are pretty much the key foods I discovered, after years of spending money I didn’t have to dine out with frequency, could be turned into a meal plan I can whack out with my eyes shut. And in time, this is the list I would turn to when I showed up at the grocery store without a plan and just a twenty dollar bill or two to spare. Hope you find it helpful!
