re: Making the most of your groceries

i get this, but what specifically do you buy and make. i'm looking for ideas on the actual grocery items you buy and how you use them multiple times throughout that 2 week period.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question. We just buy whatever items we need for the specific recipes/meals we are going to cook over the next two weeks. There really isn't any method to what recipes or meals we choose. Just choose whatever we want to eat. Then we evaluate what things need to be cooked first and what items can be cooked later.

This last time I bought things to cook:

Jerk Pork with Caribbean Salsa

Chicken & White Bean Enchiladas

Some Sriracha-Pineapple Chicken Sandwiches my wife found a recipe for

Pork Chops to grill

Chicken to grill

Chicken Parmesan

We almost always get two nights of meals out of everything we cook but neither one of us are opposed to eating leftovers.
