Not going to the grocery store provides an opportunity for more intentional meal planning and preparation. By planning meals in advance based on what you have available from your garden bed or pantry, you can make efficient use of ingredients and avoid last-minute trips to the store, saving both time and money.
You may also find yourself more willing to experiment with new dishes and recipes if the ingredients come straight from the backyard — no one likes the feeling of wasting money and food if the meals don’t go as you had planned.
