If you are single, and frugal

15. Interesting suggestion.

I likewise live alone, cook for one, and have to pay attention to the leftovers.

What's nice is that my actual food costs, especially per meal, are remarkably low for the most part. I recently made a chicken soup I call Chicken of Muchness. Using 2 chicken leg quarters, a whole lot of carrots, a small to medium sized onion, a can of small diced tomatoes and one of crushed tomatoes, plus chicken broth and various spices, I wound up with something like ten meals. All for perhaps a total of $10.00. Not bad.
