Cooking all my meals in one giant batch every two weeks! This has enormously cut back on the amount I spend on groceries and eating out. I have things ready for whenever I feel like eating dinner and something to take with me for work. I've gotten it down to a quick science. It used to take me the majority of Saturday or Sunday and clean up was a pain in the rear. Now I can finish about five meals (with standard serving sizes making about 25) in the better part of an afternoon and still have time to do my other chores. Another unexpected benefit is I've been losing weight! Apparently making your own food is better for you (who'd a 'thunk). I've lost about 25lbs since I started cooking for myself.
