I live in an area where taking public transport to get food adds between 2 and 3 hours to get to the nearest shops. I avoid shopping on the weekend. There's a bulk food order that goes out on Friday or Saturday night but I can't imagine what I'll feel like eating on the following Monday, let alone Wednesday. Sometimes I'll do bulk food prep and by the time I've finished preparing the food I'm so disgusted by the idea of food (especially that food) that I don't eat it, which is also the case if I've eaten the same meal multiple times in a row. I apparently will just wait out the clock (food goes off) instead of eating food I don't want to. I don't like pasta (again, the main thing motivating me to eat pasta is the threat of someone yelling at me, hunger alone isn't enough).

Uber eats and taking ubers to go shopping is expensive. The freezer is full because there's five people living entirely separate lives in the household.

idk what I'm supposed to be doing. It's hard to eat at all even if I wasn't trying to be healthy, meat reduction etc.

I recently got a full time job after about a decade of no employment, so I pretty much don't have energy on weekdays either.

    I actually have a pretty diverse portfolio of meals. It'st mostly actually getting the food and then storing it in a house with very little spare storage space.

    Maybe see if one of your housemates or friends would be willing to give you a lift when they go shopping? It might help ease the burden.

    Unfortunately, almost everyone in the household with a car also recently got a full time job (coincidentally) and has no energy. Everyone else is about 20-30 km away (big city with a rental crisis)

    Also, I currently have the flu and don't want to be around the kitchen/other people much. I will have to today to get medication, which I'm going to uber.
