I've developed this over the years based on that following criteria.
What they sell in my local supermarket cheap
What foods keep the longest
Nutritional content.
What is fastest to cook.
What I'm not allergic too (I have a major nut allergy + mustard, eggs,few other things in a minor way)
What I like (or am ok with)
When my routine is good I will not throw any food out.
I have a few other habits I've developed. Eg, for chicken breasts I buy big cheap packs of them from the 'about to go off' section of the supermarket. Then squish them flat (about 1cm or less) and freeze them seperated by layers of clingflim. The clingfilm stops them from sticking together and making them flat means they will defrost in the microwave ina bowl of water in 10 mins, and also cook on the george foreman grill in 2 or 3 minutes.
Also when I buy spinach I immediately take it out of its plastic bag and put in in a big bowl with some paper towels.
If you keep it in the plastic bag, when the leaves sweat water builds up in the bag and when they are damp they go-off very quickly.
I take iron tablets and vitamin D tablets as my doctor told me to. Blood tests revealed I had low levels of those.
