You guys buy things every day ?!

Does seem a bit odd to me. I could fairly easily go for weeks where the only thing I buy is from Aldi.

if I was single I could see that but I do like to do more small shopping trips now buying fresh food. I don't like the fridge being packed and I don't like to be deciding if something is to old to eat.

Hardly need to go to the shops every day for fresh food though. Potatoes and cabbage last a while without any real change. Rice lasts essentially forever. Most fruits are good for several days at least.

works out best for us if we shop for that days or next days meals. also when I say fresh food I mean more greens, fruits, and such. I don't really think of grains as fresh food because they last so long. Unfrozen meat to. Again though we want to use it well before bad so we like small amounts for the next few meals.

cabbage and potatoes sorta fall into this middle zone for us. Like with rice and flour we have it on hand because it lasts to long but with potatoes and cabbage they last awhile and there is a lot or reasons to buy a lot (when twice as much potatoes is a dollar more). So we tend to buy them for a meal but then we keep in mind with future meals to use up whats left. Because of that we tend to buy them on a really great sale and then make it a point not to buy once we have used them up. Less so with cabbage where usually any leftovers will just bleed into one or two more meals.
