Don't mourn, organise!

Air fryer = 10 minute meals

Due to a health diet issue I've only been buying food I can freeze. Nothing goes bad.

Try premade meal replacements like huel lol.

I suppose, if you're looking to make it more convenient, you could cook things in bulk and then freeze portions of it for later consumption.

i did not expect 9 o'clock

Sell your wardrobe fridge and replace it with a small one.
If the stuff does not fit in your fridge, don't buy it.

And what @technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com said. Over here, milk comes in 1L packets with a 2 day expiry. I only buy for 2-3 days at a time and every time I go out to buy milk, I also refill groceries.

Stuff over here is not more than 10km away, so I can use a bicycle.

It’s called a freezer and lunches for the extra. Eat chicken? Batch cook that pallet- brine in about a couple of water, a bouillon cube, garlic and a bunch of salt, parsley, oregano, rosemary (to your taste), and a couple of the cheapest white wine at the grocery store if your feeling fancy or really like gravy. After a few hours or overnight, dry and throw in your oven at 400 for twenty minutes. When its out, let the chicken cool on a cutting board, slice some up and chop up the rest. You now have a baseline chicken that tastes as good as deli-quality that works well in everything from dinners, sandwiches and salads, and if you skip the rosemary, its a good stir fry addin.

Accept that you won't make the food and just buy fast food instead of both. It isn't as good as cooking yourself, but it will cost less overall.

Escape car dependency. I'm fortunate enough that I live within walking/biking distance of a few groceries. I can easily buy produce as I need it so it doesn't go bad.

Fuck cars.

Honestly services like Blue Apron help with this. It’s more expensive than buying your own groceries, but still cheaper than eating out. It also helps you learn meal planning to eventually be able to buy the right amount of food on your own.

(It is easier to do if you have more people to feed though, like ideally at least one friend/partner/roommate to share the subscription with you. You can do a 2-3x a week meals for 2 subscription for one person, but it’s a bit much.)

Why are you buying perishable food items in bulk? Are you an inarticulate fopdoodle?
