My Mom used to buy groceries every two weeks.

You eat the perishable stuff the first week, and the less perishable stuff the second week. Strawberries on day 1, oranges on day 13. Fresh bread on day 4, homemade biscuits on day 12. String beans on day 6, cabbage on day 11.

One of the nice benefits is you really work through everything by the end of week 2, so you don't have random crap sitting in your fridge for a month.
