So you have to essentially grocery shop before every meal? That doesn't sound super efficient. Especially when cooking for a family.
This also still doesn't help with throwing like a big party where you need a large amount of food.
Edit: So yes, all the responses are basically shop every day. I wish I had that kinda time.
Just walk in to the local shop on your way to/from wherever else you're going (or just to get out of the house for two minutes if you've been working from home) ... that way you can have fresh ingredients every day, and you're walking a bit regularly so you don't get overweight easily
I used to buy ingredients for my meals every second day while living in Europe. Always what I wanted or was on sale. No meal planning for the week and making a huge order / weekend mall spree.
It's super simple. You stop there on your way home. When I was in Berlin, I would generally hit up the grocery store a few times a week. I did not have to worry about produce going bad because it would be used with one of my meals on the next couple of days.
Typical car brained take.
