His family meal plan runs off a monthly freezer count and a factory style parts list

He built a meal planning setup for his family around their tastes, his dietary needs and two picky kids. Once a month he counts the freezer, including the random leftovers from bulk meat buys, and the plan works like a factory parts list so shopping quantities come out right. The family wastes much less food, dinner is always ready to be made, and eating out because there is nothing at home has mostly stopped; he still shops by hand because his supermarket has no public way for a tool to fill a cart.

How it works

  1. Count the freezer monthly
  2. Feed tastes, dietary needs and stock into the plan
  3. Quantities worked out like a parts list
  4. Weekly shop in person or delivery
  5. Meals prepped from related ingredients

Why it’s worth knowing

He plans dinner the way a factory plans parts: count what is on the shelf first, then buy only the gap.
