>don't have a car, go shopping 1/2 times a week>usually buy tons of tons of the same stuff that doesn't have much shelf life (and it's on sale) and when i forget something is going to go bad i end up shoving it in my mouth with minimal cooking, just to get it over as i hate wasting food>for vegetables i mostly eat carrots (just peel it and i'm done) or vegetable soup.>also eat most of the time once a dayDo i really have to go shopping more to have a more varied diet? Or like, write down what i will eat every day on a calendar? Also i'm italian. I have city markets available once a week that are closer. I never go there usually, but they exists and are fine and cheap i guess
>>21683358Bitch, I go to the store twice a month on average. I have a "ingredient household" the kids hate it because everything requires prep and cooking but we eat well so they can go pound some fucking sand. They can eat pizza rolls when they're the one paying the fucking bills. Lil ungrateful pricks.
>>21683367How do you keep your veggies for example?>potatoes start sprouting after a week, even when keeping them inside a cool cabinet in the dark>everything else goes saggyI hate it and i don't undertand if i'm just retarded or what
>>21683384potatoes shouldn't be sprouting that quickly, I have a couple that are like 2 months old and are fine. and even if they sprout, just cut the sprouts off, the potato is still edible. carrots, onions, celery, cabbage, beets, broccoli will all last a couple weeks to months. don't skip out on canned and frozen veggies too, it's better than nothing. in fact, some are really good - frozen peas and spinach, canned corn and tomatoes.
>>21683367>LARPing this hard
>>21683384never had issues with that. potatoes stays in the paper bag in the pantry and I prep my root vegetables and place them in containers with water that I change bi-weekly. I buy green nanners so by the time they rippen, we've gone through the older bunch. Fruits like oranges and apples can stay easily 2 weeks in a basket on a table unless I start noticing fruit flies, then in the fridge they go. Tomatoes, same thing. I rarely buy berries unless they're on sale because if you look at them funny, they mold.
>>21683405>potatoes shouldn't be sprouting that quicklyI have to check when they get packaged, maybe i'm picking the oldest one at the mall>carrots, onions, celery, cabbage, beets, broccoli will all last a couple weeks to monthsDo you keep them in a thight container? Maybe that's why, i open the container of the carrots and leave them in the fridge with nothing....I'm kinda retarded.>>21683413>them in containers with water that I change bi-weeklyAlready peeled?>Fruits like oranges and applesI should start buying them again, easy breakfast. But then again, if i forget about them they will just mold lol. I would keep them in the fridge, i have a container for fruits and one for vegetables
>>21683411what's up with y'all freaks throwing a tantrum every time someone mentions their family?
>>21683421>Already peeled?Yup, peeled and cut so they fit the tupperwares
>>21683424Don't they lose nutritional value if in water?
>>21683421>Do you keep them in a thight container? Maybe that's why, i open the container of the carrots and leave them in the fridge with nothing....I'm kinda retarded.no, not really. I just leave them in the bag or loose, and put them in the crisper drawer. carrots can easily last a month, at least, often more. most root vegetables will. celery usually lasts about a month, cruciferous vegetables around 2 weeks. you can do the trick of keeping them in water that other anon mentioned but I never felt any need to.
>>21683405I have never had potatoes not in a fridge last more than 2 weeks before sprouting or rotting. If kept in the fridge in the crisper they last at least 3 weeks but start getting spongy.
>>21683413buy bananas when they are just slightly green on the end and place them in the fridge in a ziplock bag and they will stay good for at least a week.
>>21683503depends on the quality of the potatoes I guess. O have a few that are going on 2 months old and are still fine, but I bought them at their peak season in a farmer's market. grocery store potatoes don't tend to last that long I guess. but even so, two weeks is plenty of time. and sprouting isn't necessarily the end of the road for potatoes, although I'd want to use them wuickly once they reach that point.
>>21683405>carrots, onions, celery, cabbage, beets, broccoli will all last a couple weeks to months. don't skip out on canned and frozen veggies too, it's better than nothing. in fact, some are really good - frozen peas and spinach, canned corn and tomatoes.Good call.Cabbage is rlly good. Don't forget cauliflower, that's rlly good too.
>>21683358Buy one of those frozen mixed veges packs to try new veges. Maybe go to an Asian supermarket and blindly buy whatever looks exotic or interesting. For proteins, try buying fish. There's literally hundreds of fish species to try.
