Working crazy hours & live alone. So its either make a plan for consistency or keep eating 2 minute noodles whenever something goes sideways time-wise (aka near every day).
Just need a baseline to keep things on track...not meal plan as in dieting.
Need to buy a proper fridge first...what I've got right now qualifies more as a bar fridge than anything else. So limited capacity to bulk buy (much to my annoyance). Think you're right though...need more frozen stuff.
Plus maybe a woolies meal or three for the extra crazy days.

You definitely need a freezer, then you can cook for 2 or maybe 3 days in advance.

hmm...3.3k...for a decent looking one. Not bad...might just grab one next week. Just need to eyeball the electricity consumption a bit.
Yep. Wouldn't help in making food worthy of this thread though.

Yes, if I ate at a different Indian restaurant every day of my life I'd also be inclined to think that way.
Havoc yeah firstly invest in a good sized fridge/freezer. Don't worry too much about making mybb-'worthy' food lol. You'll get a lot of mileage out of the kind of stuff I make which is often family portions of oven baked dishes.
The fish pie from last night for instance would feed our family for two nights and probably feed you for 5 nights if you freeze it in portions. It takes an hour to prepare something like that, and another 40mins-1hr to bake it. Take a Saturday afternoon to prepare a couple of meals like that. Get some freezer bags and portion it out and you'll have your food all set up for the week. The value of your food will improve hugely.

Was on special for 2.2 to 2.3.
Lol. It needs to stick, become a lifestyle. But it tends to become boring. Don't you think?

I don't have a meal plan. I can't operate that way because I don't like to repeat meals very often. But I know how to buy in a way that I either have everything I need on hand, or I only need to get a couple of special ingredients to make something I have in mind.
With a single guy like havoc, I think he needs to learn how to make a handful of good quality dishes that can sustain him till some longsuffering woman takes pity on him. He might never really get into cooking as a lifestyle but he can't go on eating garbage because he can't organize his meals properly.
I haven't noticed what he's been eating. Is it that bad?
But I agree got to have the basics. Like pasta, rice, eggs, cheese, potatos, tomatoes, spices. Good to have chicken fillets and minced meat in the freezer. Just move to fridge in the morning to defrost. And ofcos stuff like canned beans and fish for those really quick meals.

This is the kind of stuff he's currently eating.

Hi-sense have been making good looking products across the range

not sure how good though
Yeah that's the question. Saw another model that people had problems with, with little to no help from Hi-Sense, but that was in Australia.
Only got it for 2 weeks used it for 1. sofar the finishing looks good. Keeps stuff cold and frozen. Not noisy. Energy efficiency branding.
