Have a meal plan and make a list before you go shopping.

Don't go shopping when you are hungry.

It's OK to regularly cook and eat the same meals.

Dried pasta is as good as fresh pasta.

You don't need much in the way of equipment, one sharp knife, one pairing knife and one serrated knife will cover most things.

Dried herbs don't last long, especially if you leave them exposed to light.

Don't put bread in the fridge, it ruins the taste. This also applies to fruit and veg although what you do will depend on your climate.

for me it is "Don't go shopping when you are not hungry"

I'm so uninspired when I'm not in the mood for food :)

LOL for me it is "Don't go shopping when your hungry"!

Buying what looks good leads to waste for me, and I really don't like to waste.

That simply means you are more likely to stick to the grocery list :)
