You just spent $300… So why are you staring into the fridge like it personally betrayed you? This isn’t a money problem. It’s a flow problem. Groceries disappear when: • There’s no anchor meal plan • Snacks run the house • Nothing connects to the next meal • Leftovers have no assignment Food chaos isn’t about lack. It’s about structure. Comment “FLOW” if you’ve ever opened your fridge and felt personally attacked.

Meal stretching isn’t about eating less. It’s about using what you buy with intention. If groceries feel tight right now, here’s the shift: Instead of asking, “How do I make this meal bigger?” Ask, “How can this ingredient work twice?” Examples: 🥩 Cook once, use twice Taco meat → tacos tonight → taco bowls or quesadillas tomorrow 🍗 Roast chicken → Night 1: chicken + sides Night 2: chicken wraps Night 3: chicken soup 🍝 Pasta night → Add beans, frozen veggies, or lentils to increase volume without increasing cost Stretching meals is about systems: • Bulk cooking proteins • Pairing with low-cost fillers (rice, potatoes, pasta, oats, beans) • Planning leftovers on purpose Let’s make this practical 👇 What’s one ingredient in your fridge right now that could turn into two meals?
