Menu Monday
Bonus Question: How do you grocery shop? Same day every week? Once a month? With a list? Do you go in without a plan?

Re: Menu Monday
Monday: Chicken & Dumplings, Roasted Cauliflower
Tuesday: Grilled Chicken Thighs, Mac & Cheese, Mixed Veggies
Wednesday: Spaghetti, Salad, Garlic Bread

Usually we go on Thursday or Friday for groceries and I have a meal plan set up for at least until the following Thursday and grocery shop with that information.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

I take Fridays off cooking and we get take out or go out, then I meal plan and write my list on the weekend, and I shop for the next week on whatever day makes sense based on our plans (Sat, Sun, occasionally Monday).
I could NEVER have groceries delivered. I stick pretty closely to my list in theory, but I make last-minute changes based on what produce looks good and/or is on sale, what inspires me to make a swap, etc.

Bonus questions: I shop once a week, usually on Tuesday, but I'm moving it to Wednesday as the shops have re-done their weekly specials. I plan meals for the week and then create a shopping list based on those. I usually do not stray too far from the list unless I happen to see something on a really good special or I have a craving for something while I'm in the store (usually fruits are my worst impulse purchases).
Tuesday - Cheesy chicken spaghetti
Wednesday - Ham balls
Thursday - Grilled sirloin
Friday - Pork chops, not sure how I will prepare them yet
Saturday - Out
