For example - I went to buy some tomatoes the other day only to find that the loose ones had sold out and the packaged ones only came in mega large sized family packs. The same goes for other foods, such as bread. If you have a whole loaf to yourself it will often go off before you've had a chance to eat it. However, I do completely agree with the "buy only what you need" bullet point. I've lost count of the number of times I've been tempted by the latest BOGOF offer!
