Did I buy groceries for myself or for a much more ambitious person who enjoys cooking every night?

I moved into a place of my own earlier this year, so now all the grocery shopping is up to me. I choose what to buy, what to cook, what to eat, basically, what I want in my fridge and kitchen cabinets. I’m enjoying that freedom, although my plans at the supermarket don’t always account for how tired I’ll be when it’s time to cook. 

TikTok shows me cool recipes I save, so that’s what I remember when I’m so ambitious at the supermarket.  I think I’ll have the time and the patience to try new recipes… Well, sometimes I do, but not most of the time. I also try to buy vegetables, although I’ll admit I’m not their biggest fan. I know I need to work them into my meals, so that’s why I save so many original recipes I see on social media. Sometimes there’s a more appealing way of including fruits and vegetables in my meals while enjoying them more. Buying them feels like a good start. Yes, then I have to actually eat them. I can’t live on chocolate bars forever! I wish I could.
