I usually buy groceries once a week. We typically buy 5 meals worth of food and eat left overs for two days. Thinking of those 5 meals takes about half the time buying groceries does. Personally, I like cooking and I like choosing what to eat. But every once in a while I wish someone would make a menu for me.

Yea you can really optimize it with some thought. Make the same stir fry but with a different sauce. Refried beans can make burritos, tacos or bowls. Chicken is endlessly versatile in stews, curry, schnitzel, etc. I too would like a menu made for me, but it would be a luxury, curated for me to explore more meals. My standards are strong, nutritious and go down well with the lady.

> Personally, I like cooking and I like choosing what to eat. So do I. I actually shop for fresh stuff almost daily now, because I mostly work from home and it's a great excuse to get out and wander around the city for a while. That said, the nature of my work is such that I'll often have intense 2-3 week periods of long days that really sap my desire to do anything beyond, like, throwing some sausage and peppers into a skillet. It's those times when I'd love to have a meal kit service like this, because if I don't have anything quick in the house then I end up with a frozen pizza or a Deliveroo order instead. I've tried doing meal prep a few times, but I tend to get sick of it by the middle of the week.

  One thing that's crazy about having kids is that you absolutely need a plan for every single meal. 3 meals a day, 7 days a weeks. Having ice cream for dinner is no longer an option, unfortunately.
