How do you [with sanity intact] shop and cook for one and two people? I'm thinking of my sisters and friends who live alone; and childless couples like my parents, and ourselves. Cooking for one and two is a real challenge, especially when trying to use up fresh ingredients and refrigerated leftovers before they go bad. It doesn't help that in most grocery stores it's cheaper per pound to buy one humongous bag of carrots over one lone carrot. And why can't I find a 6-pack of cage-free eggs anywhere? I always have to buy twelve.
It would make a lot of sense if we gathered our smaller households together for weekly meals, to share menu ideas and food surplus, especially since Americans throw away half the food they grow. Honestly, food is something we all have to stop and consider throughout our busy days, so why not make it a bigger priority to manage our food better? If not for the health of the world, think of it as an investment in our physical well-being. Both are great reasons.
