    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.
