Does anybody food shop daily?

Or am I bonkers? We do an online shop on a Ssturday to collect on Sunday for the week. Inevitably still end up going to the shops a couple of times in between for top ups.

Thing is, we seem to be wasting a lot. Things going out of day before we have realised (last week the whole 1kg of mince went out of date by the Tuesday) or us deciding we don't fancy any of the stuff we have bought for tea and either going to the shop for something else or ordering in.

In fed up of it. So I have suggested one of us (whichever one it is easiest for - usually DP to be fair as he finishes earlier than me) going to the shop every day to pick something up for tea and lunch the next day. No waste because we will only buy what we need to eat there and then and it'll always be something we're in the mood for.

OK yes it is a total Pita going to the shop every day but it only takes 10 minutes and lidl is just 5 minutes down the road.

Is this a good idea or completely terrible?

We do, it cuts down on waste dramatically but seems to be more expensive unless you are strict on not buying treats.
