I’m also ND and I understand that this is an extra step to remember but my life changed when I realized you can freeze ripe avocado and it’s totally fine for guac or smoothies later. Have a bag of frozen avo halves just waiting for me 😋
I only buy fruit and vegetables that I will eat within the next day or two while I still remember they exist. I used to stock up, but I have no idea whether those grapes will look attractive in two days, or if I’ll even notice them.
You’ll forget you bought avocados until it’s too late and they’re too ripe!! “Oh I’ll put them in the fridge to stop ripening” might as well be invisible.
I found a local store sells these little avocado cups that last way longer than the fruit. It's not perfect but I don't waste 5 out of a 6 pack because I forgot they exist.....
Maybe my avocado strategy would work for you? I buy a bag of unripe avocados and put them in the fridge and then only take out 1 at a time to ripen. I usually remember to eat it or put it back in the fridge before it rots, but if I forget about it then at least it was only 1 and not a whole bag :)

Still forgot them sometimes.
I’d say no more wasted avocado, but that’s only if we pretend there isn’t any leftover.
