I can relate.
I lived with the most rancid slobbish rear end in a top hat for years, I took lots of war horror pics. When I finally got away I had no idea how to cook because I had to eat McDonald's every day.

It takes time. Finding a few simple recipes to do frequently you can get a good hang on spoilage and cook times. You'll always have something spoil if you aren't shopping for every meal. I cook for 2 and you sometimes have ground meat that went off a week before its expiration.

Hardy veggies are always nice, stuff like potatoes and onions take ages to go bad just hanging out on the counter.

E: oh yeah we also love rice, buy a 10lb bag, won't spoil and you can use it for tons of stuff.

Also, expiration dates are not all the same. Some are "best by" dates, meaning, you can use it after it might not just taste as good.

Also, just because the milk has an expiration date on, it does not mean it expires on that date. I've milks stay good for a long time after the date. I've also milks go bad well before the date.

I habitually sniff the milk container every time I pour it. You take a swig of rancid milk and it changes you.

This technique does get you past the expiration pretty often.
