I've invented some ways out, though... I use dry bread or sour milk for bakery, freeze leftovers that can be freezed and cooked later... Thank you all for the tips, as my fridge used to be either empty or full of spoilt food. That was a very useful post!

I make it a habit of asking my wife on my way home from work if we need anything, and I'll stop at the grocery store on the way home. That way we don't have too much lying around, and we're also not really going that far out of our way to the store. We’ve gotten better at gauging how much we get of perishables.

I wouldn't have if it weren't for my in-laws, who gave it to me, but I LOVE IT. It extends the life of our produce considerably. http://www.ewater.com/index.php?option=com_tuulshop&parent=shop.browse&page=shop.product_details&product_id=60&category_id=4&Itemid=127 Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but it's amazing. I had pre-cut, mixed greens in a container for 4 weeks before they went bad. My sister wouldn't believe it had been a month, she assumed we'd bought them in the last week or so. Also--milk can go "off" due to chemical changes caused by the lights in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. So find one out of the light, and in the back--and it usually has a later exp. date, too. And it tastes better. I keep one of these in my fridge.
