It would be nice if certain things could be bought in smaller quantities...for example, bread. I never go through a loaf of bread before it gets too stale or molded to eat. And for those who say put it in the refrigerator or freezer - ick. I hate the way it makes it taste.
For the most part, my husband and I buy very few vegetables and fruits at a time. Our fridge is filled up mostly with beer, sodas, juice and condiments, (the condiments are compliments of my MIL who likes to pick up tons of that kind of stuff at food fairs, festivals and small markets.) One might get the impression looking inside of it that we don't eat well, but we pick up veggies and fish on an as needed basis. We do buy chicken and beef at Costco and portion it out, and put it in our large deep freezer.
Leftovers from restaurants - it's not my fault such huge portions are served. I don't overfill my stomach and don't want to join the ranks of the overweight, so most often I have huge amounts of food leftover in restaurants. I only take home the leftovers if it's something that will heat up well the next day. I would gladly pay 75% of the cost of regular size to only get 50% of the regular size portion, but that sort of system probably ain't going to happen in dining establishments.
