Get Organized by Getting a Weekly Plan

Here's an example; customize to suit. Also give yourself a few months to straighten out the kinks - just like a budget, it will NOT work in the beginning, so be gentle with yourself & flexible.

SUN - wkly planning, & wkly menu planning, surf the groc ads online Sun/Mon which saves gas & time
MON - clean out the fridge night, & Mon's dinner is Leftover Buffet. I also use fridge cleanout night to make a crockpot soup or stew or stir fry (or other dinner) for the following night.
