Since I have been cooking mostly for myself I tend to plan my weekly menu at once. That way I don't have to do groceries so often. Cooking for one means there is usually food for several days at once, so it's not really that many dishes I need to come up.
The problem is sometimes a food lasts for two days, other times three. That combined with the short expiry dates of some products can lead to situations where I still have food left, but need to already prepare the next one so the ingredients don't expire.
For example today I still had food from Friday left that would have been enough for the day. But the meat I had reserved for the next one had to be used today.
