Here's the thing. There are always going to be deals in the produce aisle. Something is always in season and your menu should be changing with the seasons. You wouldn't wear your wool jacket in the middle of August, so why do want a fucking watermelon in December? Make sense? No? Fuck.
OK. So you want to buy vegetables and fruit, you just aren't sure when you'll be incorporating them into your menu. That's fine. There are these things called "freezers". They keep things "frozen". Your grocer's freezer aisle is fucking packed with fresh produce. It's got more nutrients and vitamins than the shit in the produce department because it was fucking flash frozen within hours of being picked from the fields. It hasn't been sitting in room temperature for the last week, getting picked over and dropped on the floor and dying from the horrible death called "shelf life".
Fill your freezer with these bags of fruit (no sugar added, mother-fucker) and veggies (no added salt or butter). Then, when your are roasting your chicken and cooking your whole grain rice, find a veg of your choosing and fucking heat it up! When your are making your steel-cut oatmeal in the morning for breakfast, add some frozen fruit as a sweetener.
All of these things are cheap, too, so don't worry about ruining your dumb-ass grocery budget. You won't have to buy those god-awful pop-tarts or sugary breakfast cereals. You won't have to buy fucking stove-top dressing or french fries for your dinner sides. That bullshit shouldn't be in your fucking kitchen anyway.
This is not rocket science. It's too easy. You can be lazy and eat well so what the fuck are you waiting for? You would absolutely have to be the biggest fucking asshole in the world not to recognize what a waste it is to NOT do this.
