Weekly(ish) groceryhaul for single M, multiple stores, the Netherlands

Produce - € 19.22
Meat and dairy - € 13.41
Household - € 4.36
Other - € 26.68
That makes for a total this week of € 63.67

I still have some produce left over from last week, like carrots, tomatoes, celery, etc, and I have some meat in the freezer still. I also have a pantry full of staples to use.

Not everything is for this week. The tortillas, canned beans and noodles are just to stock up the pantry, since they were on sale. The cabbage was also on sale, so I picked that up to have on hand, since it keeps for a while. I was out of eggs, so I bought some. I have no firm plans to use them yet.

Some of the meals on the meal plan for this week:
Breakfast - kwark (like a very thick yogurt, technically a white cheese) with mango
Lunches - tomato soup, tandoori chicken with spinach or broccoli, pork chop with spinach, herring with broccoli
Dinners - chicken burgers, vegan sloppy joes, korean tacos, chorizo tacos, chorizo rice bowl with (mango?) salsa, grain bowl with fish

Sunday (ingredient) prep day, week 21

Every Sunday, I prep for the week. In my case, that's cutting all my vegetables and making a few components to share across different meals. This week, I made some tzatziki to go with a gyros rice bowl, falafel wraps and some flatbread with chicken. By prepping ingredients and components, I still have some flexibility. For instance, tonight I think I'll have gyros with rice and some veggies, but I also have some pita in the pantry that I could use instead. I'm not locked in to the rice. Likewise, I have 2 portions each of asparagus and green beans, so I can still choose on the day which of the two I'll prefer with my sausage, salmon or rice bowl wth pork I'll be having that day..

Weekly(ish) grocery haul for single M + a little bit of a pantry and freezer stockup

Produce - € 18.29
Meat and dairy - € 25.36
Household/personal care - € 0.69
Other - € 33.11
That makes for a total this week of € 70.45

I still have a few things in the fridge and freezer still, like some green beans, limes, falafel, salmon, ground chicken, etc, so I'll be using that up as well. And as always, I have a well-stocked pantry ful of staples.

Lots of bread and deli meats this week, because my nephew is with me and he wanted toasties tonight, and since we got a whole loaf of bread, I chose sandwiches for lunch while he picked pain au chocolat. So the ham, cheese, chicken and salami are for several meals.

A few things are for the pantry/fridge/freezer. The sugarfree syrup/cordial was on sale this week, and I like having that on hand, so I stocked up big. This will last several weeks. I also picked up some canned herring to have as a snack or with a meal at some point in the future. Butter was on sale, so I bought some just to have on hand, and I got some of those American "cheese" slices just to have on hand as well, since I recently used up the last I had. I'm using some of the tilapia for a fish curry on Friday, but most is just going in the freezer. The pita, I might use some of it tomorrow with the shoarma, in which case the other half of this double pack will go in the pantry. If I decide to go with rice instead, the whole pack will just go in the pantry.
