Tracked my grocery spending for 3 months and saw a $200 drop just from meal prepping on Sundays
I used to grab random stuff at the store and throw $400 a month at food, but after I started planning every meal for the week on Sunday mornings and sticking to a list, my monthly bill dropped to $200 by month three - anyone else see that big a change from just one small habit shift?

Agree completely, @charles_henderson, but I'd say that's the whole point, right? I mean, impulse buys are where like 80% of the waste comes from (at least for me). Once I started my Sunday prep routine, I realized I was basically paying for the privilege of standing in aisles with an empty stomach. My bill dropped almost exactly the same as yours, from like $350 to $180, just from having a plan and a list instead of hoping for the best. It's wild how one little shift (showing up prepared) can trick you into saving that much without even feeling like you're missing out.
