It's hard to keep milk and bread fresh as long as other things, so you don't buy as much in advance, and therefore run out sooner.
I can buy several weeks of stuff in advance, but not several weeks of milk and bread, or it'll expire, especially bread without many preservatives in certain climates.
Nevermind the fact that a lot of people live in an on-demand, last-minute world. A lot of people do a lot of things last-minute, so that's a contributing factor in this equation, too.

- ashtonkem 5y agoMeat freezes very well, and can often be bought in bulk. Vegetables tend to last longer than milk in my experience.
- paulfurtado 5y agoAs someone who hates making frequent grocery trips and drinks milk too intermittently to ever finish a normal bottle before it goes bad, I highly recommend buying UHT (Ultra High Temperature) pasteurized milk which does actually often have 3+ week shelf life. In the US, typically the organic brands are all UHT since they often come from farther away and need longer shelf life, but some of the cheap brands like Hood also do it.
