For me buying bulk is almost a must. I have three kids to feed on my own and i do not like to get up early in the morning to make breakfast. Sounds harsh but i am a evening person. Of course i get up in the morning but i make sure i made the breakfast the evening before. For me buying in bulk and freezing a lot of meals and leftovers is normal. As long as my kids don't complain and they say out themselves it was a good meal, i have no worries. :) I'n not your typical housewife, don't like cooking that much but my house is always clean and my kids never hungry. Often i go to take them out to Pizza Hut or a normal restaurant. Ok i can agree on you Perry if you are a single. For me buying bulk is almost a must.

I understand that buying in bulk is helping, but I just can't justify cooking a lot of something and then throwing it away. I feel that no matter how cheap it was per pound or whatever, wasting food equals wasting money. I agree.

The food that you purchased for your eating in element probably out-rated what you got when you ate out on an ingredient by ingredient basis. Much of the food served in restaurants that are not high end (talking hole in the wall, chain, and mom-and-pop) all use pre-fabbed items that are bought essentially on the cheap. By buying expensive ingredients to do your own cooking, you spent far more than any restaurant would have. While the unit price for bulk buying has something to do with this, much more of it is buying generic and/or prefabbed food (eg- potstickers, pizza dough, etc).

Being a PhD canidate who works with bacteria everyday, I know how the FDA works. This reccommendation is a cover-your ass bare minimum. Leftovers usually are good for a week - longer if there is no meat products (ie milk,cheese,meat of course) in it. Keep stuff sealed properly and in the fridge and you'll be good - we all've eaten old leftovers to no sicknesses. And trust me, you eat TONS of bacteria everyday, and you rarely get sick from it - you need a serious infection and as long as it didn't get you sick the first time around you are cool to eat any leftovers as long as you don't notice a odor or visual change indicating a big mold/bacteria colony growing on your old lasagna!

If you are trying to save and eat every leftover and/or buying the cheapest stuff you can find at the grocery store (I wouldn't recommend this with meat though) its better to eat at home. Especially for 2! If, like me you are cooking for 2, and really poor - eating out is WAY more expensive - but WAY more enjoyable. So, perry eat out while you have money and no wife! I can't wait till i have 2 incomes again so I can eat out more than once every few weeks - at a place that sells food that cost more than 7$ a plate!

This offsets the cost of getting groceries. Honestly, there is a good feeling that you get when you make a good dinner and have some good leftovers. I would typically spend $40-$60 just for myself and it is still too much food. This is just a regular run to the local Safeway or Wegmans. I would like to hear your results for two people. It will be an interesting comaprison. You definitely have an advantage in shopping for two people. This offsets the cost of getting groceries.

I like to prepare plates of food and put them in the freezer for later microwave use. The freezer aproach allows you to not eat the same thing day after day. Same with not buying in bulk, I mean your not a soccer mom with infinite hunger to satisfy. I spend about $40-60 a week, granted I am not single so I buy for two. Typically I make tacos, salmon, hamburger helper, chicken dishes, and deli sandwitches for lunch. Now if I were to go out to eat, including tip it would cost $20 if I was not pinching pennies. The difference is that I typically allow nothing to go to waste. I might monitor my spending on food for a week sometime and report back the results on my expirement with two people.
