For singles yes.
Everything is packaged so that you're either finding ways to use up ingredients or you end up throwing them away because they've expired. Some foodstuffs come in smaller servings which is a blessing but the costs add up.
- Symbiote 10y agoThe key to not wasting food is to determine today's meal based on what's in your fridge, rather than a new recipe. Also, I'm aware that my plans change frequently, so I avoid buying much meat and fish -- enough for two meals, at most.
- CmdrSprinkles 10y agoFor meat and fish: Supermarkets tend to have a pound or two of chicken and other meats at reasonable prices which equates to 1-3 meals. A chicken breast (or a few thighs) easily holds up for a week or so in the fridge as long as you put it in a sealed container. And you can save a lot more money if you buy a larger pack, break it up into "meals", bag them, and freeze them. I am lazy and just do plastic-wrap -> freezer bag and give it the sniff test before cooking but smarter people use a more rigorous system.
