Are you good at buying raw food items (veg, fruit, meat, seafood)?

Buying vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat is actually hard. For veggies and fruit, you have to differentiate between ripe, rotten, with bugs, crunchy, and fresh with color, smell, and texture. Seafood can be very tough for most people. Meat too is different in texture, smell, taste, and size.
Most people actually can't differentiate well from bad, they just buy anything from the stores and then complain that their cooking went bad. You need experience to buy great steak or proper fish pieces for sushi.

I am pro

I can recognize some good stuff

I am clueless about most and just pick anything from stores

With meat you get what you pay for, that supermarket budget buy joint is never going to be top quality. As for fish, supermarket is always crap. It's even too old to use as fishing bait. As for veg, if it's riddled with bugs I'd shop elsewhere.

Yes, I alwyas buy good fruit and I can tell when the fish has sat on the dock too long too.
