That's not true, you're assuming single people don't know how to shop/
cook... that's very big-oted of you. I probably buy in greater
quantity than most families and my staples pantry happens to be large
enough to feed a platoon, and I only cook in quantity, whenever I cook
it's enough in case a military troop transport arrives in my yard. I
shop in quantity all the time, just this week I stopped into Sam's
Club, dropped close to $300 on all sorts of party foods, large
cheeses, whole salamis, hams, all kinds of chips, and of course a few
36 can packs of Fancy Feast, cases of evap, plus more items. So what
you're saying is you feed your family for less than it costs me to
open three can's of Fancy Feast. You're silly.

I'm positive that I cook in larger amounts all the time than 99pct of
all rfc'ers... that's what freezers are for, cooked foods.
