I want to more closely buy the amount of ingredients required in what I would use them for.

I would love to be able to shop based on meals - where I say "on Wednesday night we are going to serve turkey meatloaf with broccoli and salad for 4 people" and understand the ingredients and proportions that match that.

I wind up having stuff rot because I only use a portion of it for whatever I make, and I don't have a set menu so the food is random/too-often-the-same etc...

I want the entire experience to be optimized.

Soup and probably other meals are traditionally used to recycle unused ingredients and avoid that "always the same" feeling. It might be easier to do that.

Agreed. and I am actually quite good at slowcooking stuff in my CrockPot.

Maybe I have just been too lazy? However, I am not 100% convinced that food is not sold in the wrong proportions.

It is better to optimize your menu which is in your hands than wanting your shopping experience to be optimized.
