A practical cart from PW Groceires that covers chicken bowls, pasta night, tacos, soup, and leftovers.
Start with one pack of chicken, a bag of rice, a jar of pasta sauce, onions, and a frozen vegetable mix. That base covers more nights than a scattered cart of novelty snacks.
Cook the chicken and rice on Sunday. Monday becomes bowls, Tuesday becomes wraps, and Wednesday becomes a skillet with sauce. Thursday soup can take leftover bones or broth from the pantry aisle.
If you are close to the free delivery minimum, add paper towels or oats instead of another impulse sweet. Those items last, so the ticket still works next week.
