How to have less food waste but shop less?

[QueenOfIce]

I can't meal plan for more than 2 days if I do I get to day 3 and don't want anything we might have planned. Dh is similar. We try not to waste food but we could do better but I also don't want to have to go shopping every couple of days.

If you don't meal plan how do you reduce your food waste?

I shop sales and offers on meats, then freeze. There is a list on the freezer door so we decide what to eat take it out and cross it off the list. Fruit and veg are kept in the fridge and topped up maybe one a week when we need fresh bread and milk.
So try to do a large shop evey two weeks and then have €30 to top up locally once a week.
