The amount of food I waste is ridiculous. at the grocery store, "Oh man that steak looks delicious, I can't wait to BBQ it tomorrow" A week later I go in the fridge and find a steak starting to turn green because I've been going out with friends or ordered a pizza. FUCK.
When I buy meat, I freeze it all except for what I plan to eat one day at a time. And if something comes up and I know I can't make it for a few days, I'll throw it back in the freezer again (although you shouldn't do this infinitely, I try to only re-freeze things once).
For produce, I have a day where I just cut a week's worth of things up and have them ready in sealed glass containers. I find that I am much more likely to incorporate veggies into my meals if they're ready to go (throw them in with an omelette, stir fry, tacos, etc.).
