Just realized I've been under my grocery budget for 6 straight months

I set a $400 monthly limit back in January as a joke, and somehow I've actually stuck to it - even with prices going up. Has anyone else seen their habits shift without really trying?

Started meal prepping on Sundays and it just clicked for me.

Oh yeah, once you get that first Sunday DOWN it really changes everything. I'd say start small though - don't try to prep 21 meals at once or you'll burn out by Wednesday. My trick is to pick ONE protein and ONE carb for the week, like grilled chicken and quinoa, then swap out the veggies each day so you don't get bored. Also invest in some decent glass containers because the plastic ones get nasty after a few washes. That first week you don't have to cook after work and you're just heating stuff up is seriously life changing.
