Packing Food for Your Trip
We’ve learned over the years not to pack too much food before leaving on a trip. Pat used to plan a menu for the week and have everything bought, packed and ready to go on departure day.
What we discovered was that our plans rarely stayed the same. We might spot a local restaurant we wanted to try, decide we weren’t hungry enough for the meal we had planned, or simply change our schedule for the day. Too many times we ended up throwing away food that we had every intention of eating when we left home.
Now we take a different approach. We bring the staples we use regularly, especially things that won’t spoil, along with frozen foods that can stay in the freezer until we need them.
Once we arrive at our destination, we shop locally for the rest. We’ll stop at a grocery store or, even better, visit a local farmers market and buy what we need for the next day or two.
It cuts down on wasted food, gives us more flexibility, and leaves room in our plans to try some of the local restaurants and foods we find along the way.
