Your Main Meal

[ethandron]

Do you plan in advance or just decide an hour before?

[sherrardk]

I plan the meals a week in advance.

On the day (a bit more than an hour before)

I have to decide in the morning as there's bound to be some part of the evening meal that's got to come out of the freezer.

I always plan in advance as I cook from scratch. Usually just the night before mind you :)

Mostly in advance, more or less. I can only do one big shop a week so I tend to plan roughly as I am in the Supermarket and buy enough for meals for the week. I do have a basic cupboard ingredients so some things mnight vary. i.e. I buy mince but may not decide until the day whether we are having mince cobbler/mince in yorkshire puddings/mince with mash/spag bol/chili/meatballs with pasta/burgers etc. I'll buy chicken pieces but they might be a stir fry or curry or something - I try to have a rough idea in case I need fresh stuff e.g veg for stir fry etc.

Depends on what else I an doing.

bit of both.....

Usually decide in the morning. Only have myself to think about.
Difficult to decide an hour before if you are cooking from scratch.

I always plan for my meal advance in one day.

[ummmm]

Bit of both.

When I do a big shop I have a list of meals but often decide on the day.
