Can't you explain how a mega-expense doesn't last you more than five days?
The reasons can be many, come on shopping without a smart list, perhaps reasoned only on the basis of offers or inspiration of the moment, to the bad arrangement of products in the refrigerator, which depending on where they are positioned rot earlier or last longer.
make shopping last longer a few tricks are enough: take one smart list, perhaps by getting help from an app, preserved at best fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and milk, don't "hide" some products - you can try using a turntable, for example. And especially, make a weekly plan, a kind of daily menu to follow for a week, which over time will help you calibrate purchases based on your actual consumption. And, above all, a avoid waste.
Here they are in detail.

Write a shopping list as accurate as possible
Write down precise doses to hecto and based on your actual consumption. So you don't risk buying superfluous food that you won't eventually eat and end up throwing away.
You can write yourself the list in the old way, on a piece of paper, or on the notes of the telephone. But there are also many apps to write a list intelligently.

Organize the refrigerator well
No, you don't have to put everything where it happens or where there is space. Dust off your old refrigerator instructions (or get them on the internet): fruit and vegetables go to the special drawers (low and high humidity respectively) and not closed in plastic bags, which could cause the products to rot faster.
On the coldest shelf, store meat, milk, yogurt and eggs. The leftovers they go to the higher floors.

Never forget the food at the bottom of the fridge and pantry
Still remaining on the subject of the refrigerator: try never to forget food. Some may end up behind, hidden from each other and, therefore, also from your dish ideas.
Help yourself with a revolving tray where to put preserves, leftovers and everything you have set yourself to consume before it goes bad. There the same rule applies to the dispensation: spices, leftover pasta, biscuits and cereals, tea bags and so on.

Use the freezer not only for frozen food
If you find a fresh product on offer that, for the sake of your pocket, it is worth buying in greater quantities than your usual weekly consumption, do it and freeze it in single portions (or more, if you are more than two at home).
This way you can defrost your dinner and have it available when the refrigerator is empty.

Plan a weekly menu
Once the shopping has been arranged between the refrigerator and the cupboard, it's time to take a large sheet of paper and a pencil (so you can erase and rewrite any replacements) to write your weekly menu.
Plan everything from breakfast to snacks, passing through lunches, dinners, pampering such as ice cream or chocolate.
By doing so, you will eat in a balanced way, you will realize how long your shopping will last, you will avoid spoiling the products and you will not leave room for improvisation who often plays tricks on the line.
