I generally have a problem with balancing shopping, storing, and cooking time wise. You need to buy the right amount of things, figure out more or less what you're doing to do with them, make sure you don't forget about them, and then hope it doesn't spoil on you in the wrong order.

Then people wonder why many don't like cooking at home, especially with fresh ingredients. I'm a big fan of frozen/canned/packaged stuff for this reason... my chickpeas or soba with tofu never fail me. Or the frozen salmon fillets. But reportedly it's unhealthy.

I keep meaning to sit down and start writing a tool to help me with this, but I keep being too busy with other stuff. If you could combine a nutritionist with awareness of local grocery availability with budget and time (etc) requirements with recipe websites... You'd save me so, so much time and effort planning meals.
