A natural way to answer

I tend to plan my meals first, then write a list based on that. I do most of it in one supermarket trip during the week, and top up with fresh things like bread or fruit as needed.

Key phrases to use

  • end up — to finally be in a situation or do something, often unexpectedly“We ended up staying much later than planned.”
  • grab — to take or pick something up quickly and casually“I'll just grab a few things and meet you outside.”
