The key to not wasting food is to determine today's meal based on what's in your fridge, rather than a new recipe.
Also, I'm aware that my plans change frequently, so I avoid buying much meat and fish -- enough for two meals, at most.

And you can save a lot more money if you buy a larger pack, break it up into "meals", bag them, and freeze them. I am lazy and just do plastic-wrap -> freezer bag and give it the sniff test before cooking but smarter people use a more rigorous system.
