I retired about 5 years before my wife so during that time one of my chores was the grocery shopping and fixing most of the dinners. Now she's retired and she took back over the grocery shopping. I actually enjoyed going to the store and yes, there were a lot of impulse buys. As well as whatever was on the list, if something looked good or was on sale, into the cart it went. I never really had meal plans because I rarely cook from a recipe but with the basics and whatever else looked good it worked out.
