Since most of my cooking is for one, the biggest problem is what others say. Buying in the right quantity to use before it goes bad. I can use up a lot of things in morning shakes or in soups or pizza toppings. I can buy fish at the meat counter in any amount, but fresh greens are usually sold in specific packages. I compost some of what's going bad, but it's still a food waste. I'm looking forward to gardening season where I can walk out the door and get fresh greens. There are certain things like yogurt, canned marinara, tomato paste, that I try to use well past their expiration date, but still end up throwing some out occasionally. I recently bought two for one jars of my favorite peanut butter on sale and noticed it had just past its use by date. I didn't know peanut butter could go bad, but know of people who refrigerate it. I rarely eat out, but suspect my food waste is very small compared to what restaurants must throw out and the expired foods in supermarkets.
The store we went to would divide produce that was bagged if asked. Might be worth asking?
