Cooking for one can be a
bit of a shock if you've been
accustomed to feeding a
household. But there's no
reason not to enjoy and reap
the benefits of home cooked
meals. But how much should
a single person buy? Where
should the person shop for
best value? And how long
will fresh produce keep?

How Long
Will It Last
When shopping and
cooking for one, keep a
careful eye on perishable
items - especially pro-
duce. If you know how
long things might last,
you'll have a better
chance of buying nearly
the right amount. Here's
how long some items will
survive, depending on
how they're stored.
Refrigerator Storage
Will last less than one
week: strawberries,
raspberries, sweet corn,
lettuce, spinach,
asparagus, mushrooms,
watercress, cauliflower,
broccoli, tomatoes, ripe
avocados.
Will last one week or
more: Romaine lettuce,
beets, radishes, leeks,
cabbage, carrots, celery,
turnips, apples, pears, or-
anges, cucumbers.
Will last one week or
more: grapefruit, lemons,
limes, potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, winter squash.

• Buy economy sizes of truly
non-perishable products, but
only if you use the products
all the time. Examples are
aluminum foil and cereal.

shopping solo:
• Never shop when you're

tomatoes, onions and other
produce to avoid having a
refrigerator full of left over
dried-up pieces.
• Shop at a market where
they'll sell one chicken
breast or four ounces of fish,
and that has a fresh bakery
counter where they won't
frown at the request for one
croissant.
• Remember that foods from
health food stores are no
better than well-chosen
foods from regular stores —
they're just more expensive.
• Don't buy bagged produce
or fish on a tray. Besides
having to buy more than you
need, the quality might be
inferior.
• Don't take a lot of extra
cash to the supermarket to
buy items you don't really
need and won't really use.
Remember, you can't spend
what you don't have.
• Trim food bills by cutting
out the extras, not the ba-
sics.
• Buy a variety of food in-
cluding milk products, meat
and fish, fresh produce and
grains for good nutrition.
Forget low nutrient snacks
such as cake and candy.
How Much For One?
Old habits die hard. So
you'll find most recipes are
planned for 4-6 people. For-
tunately, many good cook-
books are available with rec-
ipes for 1-2 people.
Here are the average
quantities needed to feed
one person:
Meat, without bone....4-6 oz.
Meat, with bone....6-8 oz.
Meat, for salads and made
up dishes....3 oz.
Poultry, on the bone....10-12
oz.
Poultry, boneless....4-6 oz.
Fish fillets....5-8 oz.
Fish with bone....10-12 oz.
For made-up dishes...3 oz.
Fresh vegetables, such as
green beans....4-6 oz.
Ready to eat cereals....1 oz.
Rice or pasta, uncooked....1
1/2 to 2 oz.
Accessories
And Basics
These are staples and con-
diments, which you'll need
to enhance your solo meals.
A glass of the grape doesn't
hurt, either.
Flour, sugar and other
baking ingredients are not
listed as they deteriorate
quickly. If you're a baker,
buy as needed and store in a
cool dry place. Convenience
foods are included here for
emergencies — when you're
sick or there's an unexpect-
ed guest or you've just run
out of milk.
