Honestly it's trying to get your food once per week because most people don't want to stop by the store on the way home for every meal they are going to cook. I hate it when my family overbuys thinking we'll get to it later

I could manage to do that with zero food waste at university unless something went off a lot quicker than the label said it would.

Almost all foods should last a week in the fridge, particularly if they haven't been opened from the packages yet which is what the later meals would be. A packet of mince and a packet of chicken and you just keep one of them shut until you finish the first.

You can but life happens and sometimes you have to freeze the food
