I am single, and I generally do not have much of an issue with that here in Germany. "Loose" fruit and vegetables[0] and "single-sized" packaged stuff[1] is widely available without much of a price difference. I rarely have to throw anything out because it spoiled, and I don't have to eat the same stuff for days on end, either. Is that really such an issue where you live? Interesting. [0] "Loose" stuff is usually sold by weight, there are scales in the supermarket where you weigh whatever you intent to buy, so buying small quantities has no surcharge at all. [1] Smaller packages usually are a little bit more expensive than "family size" ones. But I hardly buy anything perishable in such packages anyway. It's mostly things like noodles or cereal, which if stored correctly, can last for months if need be, so buying a cheaper family-size pack as a single is not an issue for me.
