Shopping presents to me the greatest problem when it comes to being single and living alone. Living alone tends to mean small house, small kitchen, small fridge and freezer. Buying just two carrots or two potatoes etc etc is either impossible or means you have to pay twice as much and so my fridge is either empty, from the refusal to go shopping, or full of half rotten food from my inability to eat it all in time, which leaves me feeling very guilty for throwing out what was once good food.
I have tried many things over the years:
1. Bulk cooking from fresh - results in no more room in the freezer or eating the same thing for 4 days, this soon becomes very boring
2. Only eating frozen foods - gained about half a stone and felt hungry more often than not
3. Take away night every night - as 2. and a very dry bank account
4. Eating round a different friends house every night - worked well for a while, until they started catching on
5. Ready meals - buy far the easiest option until people like Jamie Oliver make you feel guilty and also expensive
6. Not eating at all - this lasted about 4 hours
I am waiting for one of these do gooder chefs to make a programme that might actually help me eat well, save money and not waste so much food.
