Grocery shopping and meal planning can go one of two ways (at least for me).
A fun process
or utter chaos, and frustrations.
I did not include pantry staples like flour, butter, salt, or spices on the list, as it's likely you already have and forgot about, or only use on occassion because what meals ask for nutritional yeast?
Some of the ingredients used for one meal will be overlapped in the other - getting all the use from the item you purchase meaning no waste and probably some leftovers, too.
