It sounds like you decide that you want to eat a particular
"something" instead of looking at what is there and deciding what can
be made from it. Have you actually eaten all the $80 of food you
bought? If not, start figuring out what you need to make a meal from
the remainders.

I guess we all have certain things that we eat as a meal. If I buy
steaks, I try make sure that I have potatoes, sour cream, chives,
salad makings, etc to go with it. Keep dried, frozen and canned
ingredients on hand.
