I stock up on staples (there is no need for me to go shopping for rice on a weekly basis) and store them in sturdy, airtight, moisture-proof containers if their original packaging doesn't suit.
Then I also go shopping regularly, just a 10-minute stop to get perishable stuff that I don't pick up on a run that's for staples or at the farmers' market. It is perfectly OK to drop in at the grocery store on the way home from somewhere else and pick up two apples, a head of lettuce, and a loaf of bread.
I also suffer from not knowing what I am going to want to eat, and/or just plain not wanting to eat even when I am hungry. I have a small box of fairly bland but unobjectionable meal bars (I went with Luna bars) and a container of protein powder that I can eat completely without enthusiasm if I need to get something into me but nothing sounds good. I try to avoid resorting to those, but they are there if I have to have them.
