It's a little OCD because you're throwing out good food. Meat can be kept for much longer than a day. In the restaurant I work at, we keep steaks in the fridge for several days before they show signs of decay. If you are cooking left overs, yes 24-48 hours is the throw-out time in many cases. As for fruits and veggies, they can be kept for about 5-6 days before tossing them out.
So basically, you're spot on except the meat is thrown out a little too early.
That isn't OCD. That is actually proper guidelines for health in a culinary environment I believe. I am not quite sure. Hyped up on coffee would know for sure. Could be wrong.
Anyway, I keep my stuff for about the same amount of time but buy less for that reason.
until they go bad, it depends on a lot of conditionds

I come from a Hindu family, so there's no place for meat in the fridge :P
for the raw fruits and vegges, my mom keep them for like 5-6 days maybe?
but like others have said, meat can be stored for a week or so,
Don't throw em out because you think it's a wastage.
Arrange food in your fridge from above downwards according to the time you bought them.
Hope this helps :)
Very wasteful. They put expiration dates on food. Go by that. I keep leftovers for about a week.
