View submission: Do you eat your 5 a day?

View parent comment

You don’t need to shop every day. I cook from scratch and only shop once a week. Most vegetables and fruits will last a week if you store them properly. The ones that don’t I will use first. I also buy frozen and canned vegetables.

I will also often make enough food to last a few days. Curries, pasta sauces and casseroles can all be reheated.

I have children and work full time. Even an elaborate dish like a lasagna only takes about an hour max to get in the oven, and we’ll eat it for 3 days. And it has 5 vegetables in it already.

Yes that’s what we do 😆 that’s normal. My comment wasn’t aimed at normals but the crazy person who said they shop everyday and only have fresh non processed foods.
