I more or less plan on the level of "I'll use half this
tofu for a stir fry tonight, and the other half for
tofu sandwiches tomorrow". This level of thinking informs
me as to how much stuff I have to buy.

This may be related to my reluctance to freeze leftovers
or unused ingredients; I feel I should buy the correct
amounts to begin with.
