I'll add salad/lettuce to that. I live by myself and on the odd occasion I make burgers or something I have to buy a full sized bag and inevitably throw most of it away. Have just stopped bothering now.
Living on your own and trying to actually cook for yourself and be a bit healthy is a bit of a nightmare. Even if you batch cook and freeze loads you seem to always end up with a fair amount of waste.

And you always end up repeating meals way more than you'd really like to.

Did try those home delivery things like Hello Fresh which are OK but just seem expensive for what you get and not really designed for single people either.

Steady on there, someone will be marketing that,under the guise of shinkflation, along with time sensitive shopping, I mean why not they can charge what they want.
We're a commodity after all!

I've generally managed to nail it in terms of eating healthily with minimal waste but yeah, it involves eating a variation of the same 3/4 things on repeat all week and cooking enough in the evening to have for lunch the next day as well. Luckily food is mostly just a functional thing for me, if I was a "foodie" I'd go insane.

I found the same with HF/Gousto, tasty but expensive and a lot more plastic waste than if I just cook myself. It was useful to get some cooking tips/techniques though.

Royal fucking Mail. Booked a collection so I could return something, just had an email saying they tried to collect it but the parcel "wasn't available when we called".

I'm WFH and no-one has rung the buzzer and I haven't even seen anyone from RM go past (I'm in a street-facing ground floor flat and a nosey fucker). Unless they expected me to leave it in the street it's utter horseshit.

Collecting travel money from Tesco. Email states it will be ready to collect from 3pm.
Get to the counter at 2.55pm and there are 5 people in the queue all been told to collect from 3pm.
Sign on counter says, on break back at 3.20pm.
The guy trundles up at 3.25pm
