I finally noticed why my grocery runs kept failing

Every Friday I would swing by the Kroger on 5th Street and grab the same stuff, but I'd still end up ordering takeout three nights a week. Last month I looked at my receipts and saw that I was only buying ingredients, not meals. A bunch of loose veggies and a jar of sauce do not make dinner, especially after a long day at work. Now I write down the actual dish on my list, like tacos or stir fry, before I shop. Has anyone else figured out a better way to plan around their real schedule?

Isn't buying just the ingredients the whole point, since a real meal plan would fall apart the second life gets busy anyway?
