View submission: Do you eat your 5 a day?
I've easily eaten 5+ for the last decade, I've lived alone for 6 out of those 10 years (and with only one other person for the other 4), and for 9 of them only shopped once a week (for the last year I've lived closer to the supermarket than the back half of the supermarket's car park so I don't bother with big shops anymore and just treat the supermarket as my personal pantry).
Things like broccoli and carrots easily last a week if not two, a head of cabbage more like 3 weeks. Frozen veg is a thing and is really convenient and easy to use. Most fruit lasts more than a week except some of the soft berries.
Salads are less so, but still easily 4-5 days.
You can replace some of your carbs, it's a really easy way to eat less high calorie food which most people need to.

You're just really tolerant of food that's going off then, I think. For me, fruits last a couple of days max because I hate it when they go mushy or gritty.
