Like I said, there are only two of us. Buying in bulk does not make sense.

Buying in bulk makes perfect sense if you have a freezer and I'm sure you do

No, it really does not make sense for the two of us. The only meat that I have purchased over the last 3 months is a tube of 90 per cent hamburger for the Golden every month which is mixed with her Blue Buffalo Wilderness.
We are trying to eat the freezer empty. Now, if you talking paper towels, detergent, Bounce and sponges, yeah, we use that a lot. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, we find to that it is more prudent to purchase only that which will last for a few days, because the vegetables will begin to deteriorate. We have a Farmers Market that we go to on Saturdays that is really good.
When we make ribs, it is one slab. A slab will last for two meals with Golden cleaning up after us. A whole chicken represents at least two meals and a chicken salad or soup. Most of the stuff gets old and we end up throwing it away. Our biggest meal is dinner. I only have a couple of crackers for lunch. I have lost 57 lbs. since January trying to get back to my original weight since I lost most of the use of my legs. And, I still have 40 lbs. to go. I was 262 and now I am 205.
I cook big on Sundays because the kids come over for dinner. That's it. Bulk buying does not make practical as well as financial sense in my situation. We also enjoy going out to eat, so that covers some of our activity.
Believe me, I do understand where you are coming from, and if we had 3 teenagers running around to feed, then it would be different. Thank you Lord for allowing me to survive through that and enjoying life now.
