Bachelor Tip #2: Strawberries Aren't Supposed to Grow White Fur

  



There are certain things in nature that aren't meant to grow fur. 

Strawberries are one of those things.


As bachelors, we need to be wise about the way we buy food.  I'm often tempted to buy copious amounts to try and last me as long as possible, but I've been finding that that's not the best method.
You tend to buy too much of some things and not enough of others.  Fruit is something not to buy in large amounts.  You're just not going to eat it all and you're going to end up with moldy strawberries, black bananas, squishy apples, etc..  Same thing with fresh bread, if you buy too much, it will get moldy before you can finish it and then you will have to throw some out, having wasted your money and food.
That being said, if something non-perishable, or long-time-perishable is at a bargain price, stock up!  Better to spend a little extra now and save on that item for the next couple grocery runs!
Also, meat is not supposed to have green spots, period.
It's better to buy (and eat) smaller portions more often than larger portions less often.  It may mean a little extra time spent grocery shopping, but you can take advantage of good deals more often, make sure that food doesn't go bad, don't overeat, and save yourself from having to throw out rotting food.
