I mostly rely on produce that lasts a long time - frozen veggies (they are every bit as good for you as fresh, but the textures are different and they tend to be slightly more expensive), root veggies that reliably last for 2-3 weeks, other things that stick around like celery, bell peppers to some extent, etc. I keep meat in the freezer unless I know I'll need it in less than 3 days. I weigh meat before cooking - keeping around 5oz/serving works well for us.
I'm sure it's mostly a matter of learning how much is right for your household's needs. I'd suggest keeping a recipe log as you go? If you write down how much you put in, and how many servings that created, you can get a sense of where you might have done better to cut back.
