Food shopping as a daily practice?

[Made4Sunshine]

Does anyone do this ?
I'm a somewhat structured meal planner and bulk cook but fancy doing a basics shop periodically and trying to buy fresh each day.
Logistically it would have to be on the way home from work
I'm also trying to get early teen kids involved in cooking over school holidays In the view they could cook a meal each a week.
Madness ?

I did this pre-DC. After work, I would cycle home from the train station and stop at an expensive organic store to buy my meat, fresh veggies, yoghurt, and fruit for the evening. Maybe also a Kombucha. I spent 30-40 mins preparing a lovely dinner for me and DH, listening to a podcast. Ahhh those were the days.

Now I have two very young DC and I do the weekly meal prep/grocery shop at ALDI like everyone else.

When the DC are older I love the idea of going back to buying my food fresh everyday. I see so many women with their 2 DC on those large electric bikes buying fresh veg at the farmers markets. I would love to be like that, but I’m just not.

Do you mind me asking which fridge/freezer you’ve chosen? Does it have an ice/water dispenser? I’m looking to get one too.

I do this because the supermarket is opposite my work so I just call in on the walk home and buy what we need that day.

I find it easier and less wasteful than doing a big shop every week.

@Teachingteacher we have an American Fridge freezer with ice and water plumbed in and it is honestly the best thing we ever did. The children started drinking much more water and could help themselves to a drink very easily. I have been browsing new ones in case ours dies just so I know what is on the market, it is 10 years old and has been repaired twice. My advice is go and see them in reality so a Currys or the likes. They are small inside, a mere 90 cm wide to accommodate both fridge and freezer. We have an additional larder freezer because we shop at Costco so all our chicken, minced steak, salmon, white fish, bacon, etc comes from there and we portion it, vacu seal it and freeze it.

We are lucky that Ds2 walks past a supermarket on his way home from sixth form so often gets milk, bread, vegetables or salad stuff for us. I just message him. I used to have a 3 week menu plan with a 6 week variation for some items now I do a generic Monday is white fish, Tuesday is chicken, Wednesday is Salmon etc.

I do a big shop on the weekend and a top up on a Thursday.

This is so helpful, thank you!
