As far as stuff going bad I would give the following advice:

Any produce should be used and eaten within the week.

If you feel you're getting down to things needing thrown away plan on making a big salad to eat along with your meals. If you buy only 1 head of lettuce, 1 pepper, 1 tomato, etc that salad won't go bad within the week. I WOULD however store the lettuce and vegetables all in separate containers in the fridge and only make what salad you need for that day.
Freeze any meats you are not using in your meal plan within the next 48 hours.

Once you've made the first day's meals then look at what ingredients you are going to need for just the next day. Take ONLY THAT out of the freezer and put it into the fridge the day before.

Bread can be stored in the fridge and may last a few days longer. Any bread you buy in the bakery will get moldy faster than pre-packaged loaves.

Just make sure you're buying single portions of what you need unless you are able to freeze it.
