Had the worst grocery week ever and it made me rethink everything

Last Tuesday I went to Aldi and spent $52 on what I thought was a normal haul, but by Friday I had nothing left to eat. Turns out I bought three jars of pickles and no actual meals. The next week I planned out each day's dinners before shopping and spent $41 with leftovers. So which side are you on - do you plan meals down to the day or just grab what looks good and hope for the best?

Same girl who bought pickles for a week here. My lunch was just crunchy sadness.

Bought a bag of lemons and a jar of capers last month thinking I'd make "something fancy" - ended up eating crackers with butter for three days straight. The planning approach is the only way I don't end up eating pickles for breakfast.
