Has anyone else noticed the high cost of buying just for one person just lately? I wanted a small tin of butter beans cost 45p and noticed the large one was only 50p. Even the bagged veg seems to be in family sizes, I wanted one crisp roll the other day but they only come in packs of 6! I cant buy 250g of clover I have to buy 500g which I never use up before the date! I seem to be throwing more food away now as I never get to use it all by the dates on packets, everything has such a short lifespan once the packet is open. Everything is packed and family sized you cant even buy a slice of ham for a sandwich you have to buy a pack which must be eaten within 3 days!

I use small local shops and I am helping them as well as myself as they will sell a few slices or a quarter of a chicken. Also I don't like the attitude of supermarkets who think we are all large families. And it is less expensive than throwing food out.
