Shopping? Everyday?

Not quite, but usually three weekday nights - it may not be much, milk,
cheese, fruit, bread, things like that, but it takes time to go out and
get it. With the amount of milk we consume, we can only get two days's
supply upright in the fridge and we've had too many incidences of leaks
when they're lying down. The milkman only delivers after we've gone to
work for the day

Get a bigger fridge ;-)

We do a weekly shop at the supermarket. Normally we avoid doing
"between" shops. We always have some quick meals since people often
go out early in the evenings.

+1

Best thing I ever did was get a big decent fridge that holds at 4C reliably
(meaning I add +1 to +3 days to the expiry date depending on food type).

I've also found that doing a weekly internet shop from Ocado isn't any more
expensive than Tescos or Sainsburys (if you choose reasonably - lots is
Tesco price matched anyway). But the expirey dates are definately longer on
average IME than Sainsburys, so it is quite possible to run for a week at a
time. with zero intermediate shopping trips.
