I go through my cupboards and take stock of everything I have before I go shopping. Then, I build my list around what I have.
Right now I have chicken stuffing, chicken gravy, and mixed vegetables. So, I will purchase chicken thighs and dice them to make a casserole with all of this. I also have tons of tomato sauce, and my kids love pizza, so I will pick up English Muffins on sale this week (BOGO) and mozzarella cheese and that will be another meal. I will probably pick up salad stuff for this meal as well.
