Every half a month I plan out half a month's meals and buy only those specific ingredients. I started this in college as a way to help me be fiscally responsible, but it's really made life a lot easier because I can plan out nutritional needs at one time, be in and out of the farmers' market and then the grocery store very quickly and there's never any question as to "what am I going to eat today?" I don't check ads or clip coupons anymore because I'm fortunate to be in a comfortable situation with money.
