unless you either like making too much or throwing out a ton of unused shit.
When I’m meal planning I always try to get ingredients I can use for multiple things. Like I made a leg of lamb last week and then used the leftovers for gyros a couple days later. If I need lettuce for something, I make a salad with another meal.

I’ve significantly cut down on food that gets tossed since I started planning in advance.

I mean, if you don't want a whole head of lettuce, you can buy a small bag of premade mix pretty easily.

The giant mess of herbs usually winds up getting wasted by just about anyone (I have a bunch of dill that will probably eventually get thrown out), but they do sell either concentrates or small packages, too.

And anything dried can just go in the pantry, and then you have it for the next time you make it.
or you buy the whole head and figure out what ELSE you can do with it...like make a salad of just iceberg lettuce...or something.

I mean, there are solutions out there.

I've stopped bagging half or quarter onions and just throw them out after cutting rather than waiting for them to mold in my fridge then throw them out.
 
Guy does a produce box... he's well aware of excess ingredients.
The first one we did came back with some really random stuff. It was interesting, but after a while, we got tired of trying to figure out how to use a bunch of microgreens.

We've still got a spaghetti squash from our last delivery that we need to eat.

Also this.

I got a little herb garden in the window this year. It’s perfect. Hardly have to buy any packaged herbs this winter.

And the ones I do buy, if I have leftovers, I tie them with kitchen string and hang them in the kitchen. They dry in their own and I can use them in lieu of fresh herbs later.

I'm sorry you don't understand.

I've neither the time nor inclination to help you any further in this regard.

I had been meaning to try and keep a pot of basil and mint growing in my basement window. Forgot to water them during Christmas, though.

I do have a shit ton of pesto that we made in the fall, though.

I use onions almost everyday. Only challenge is remembering the one from the day before. Used a half of one from the fridge last night in enchiladas.

I have basil, parsley, rosemary, and green onions growing right now. I suspect my mom and dad probably got me one of those counter-top herb gardens for Christmas, so might add a few more if that happens.
 
Tonight I’m doing a seared flank steak with chimichurri sauce, morels and oyster mushrooms, and spaghetti squash.

Can’t wait. Need to get those morels reconstituted this afternoon.
I love a good flank steak.

I mean, I understand that you might not get the best price for buying (say, two filets vs. a whole beef tenderloin), but there's almost always an option at the grocery store for a person to make meals for one or two.
