Food planning does not need to become a project. I like to think in a few simple building blocks: vegetables, fruit, a couple of easy lunches, dinner basics and something nice for later.
Keep it flexible
A useful grocery shop leaves room for real life. I would rather buy ingredients that can become several meals than plan every plate in advance.
