Default Are the supermarkets catering for the little shoppers big shop

I've just been up morrisons for my big shop.

I only have to shop for one but I didnt see anything line margarine and sauce or shampoo in small bottles for the single man.

So I've came away with oversized stuff I wont ever finish before it goes out of date.

I feel a bit persecuted to be honest.

Odd. There's always small and larger options for sauces and butters and margarines in any supermarket I've ever been in, including Morrisons.

I’m sure they do small tubs of marg, not seen small bottles of sauce though so your persecution is real

Shampoo doesn't go out of date . Things like sauces (assuming you mean stuff like pasta sauce) you could freeze to use later

I get what you're saying about things like margerine though. In general we prefer real butter but one of my daughters is dairy intolerant and only really likes the "Pure" brand sunflower spread... But it only comes in 500g tubs. But with only one 10 year old having it, it can often be less than half the tub used before it goes in the bin.

You can take half out and put it in a freezer compatible container, it will keep for up to six months.
