I used to have a far too tiny fridge with a token freezer compartment that could just barely fit a loaf of bread and a box of frozen peas at the same time so I went shopping basically every day and it sucked so much.
Do not listen to people telling you it's an acceptable way of life.

Having a good fridge with actual freezer space is a godsend. Make proper use of the compartments, use air tight containers, accept that everything is packaged for families and not for singles. Some stuff will spoil before you get to finish it, but you get a feel for what to prioritize soon enough.

Dry stuff like rice and pasta keep forever. Smaller jars / cans of sauce can be added for a quick and easy meal when you're feeling lazy.

As for cook books, your best bet would probably be ones aimed at students, those tend to be a bit simpler with less ingredients needed.
There's also absolutely nothing wrong with buying prepackaged stuff and spicing it up a notch with some extra fresh ingredients added.
