I don't cook ALL my meals from scratch- obviously there are lazy nights where I throw some pasta and sauce together or heat up a frozen meal of some kind because I am tired or being lazy. However, I cook A LOT of my meals from scratch- I just prefer homecooked meals- I think I am pretty good cook and I really LOVE to cook, I wanted to go to culinary school. I sometimes follow recipes but I prefer to just come up with my own recipes or watch a cooking show for inspiration and then alter the recipe to how I think it would be better. I try not to grocery shop more than once a week- I make a list of the meals I want throughout the week and all the ingredients I need for them before I go shopping. Since I am cooking for only one- each meal usually lasts more than a day- I do get sick of the same thing after 2 days though, so I usually don't eat something longer than that. I like to use my crockpot a lot too- you can do a little prep in the AM and come home to a hot meal in the evening.
