If a recipe serves 4; I have leftovers which is good so that means I don't have to actually be cooking all the time. I might eat 2 consecutive meals on 2 consecutive nights and then freeze the rest for next week or the week after or share the rest with someone else the following week. Torie

Also, when I come home, my mom has leftovers frozen for me to bring back food. I do have a freezer and it has been a big help to freeze leftovers!

I really don't think cooking for one has to be expensive. My husband and I cook for "two" and eat very inexpensively. The key is to be willing to eat leftovers for multiple days and/or freezing extra portions. Did you have a freezer available to you at the sorority house? You can buy a package of boneless chicken breasts and get 8 meals out of it easily. Add rice, and some canned green beans and you are all set. Making chili is also a great way to stretch the dollar if you minimize the meat and put in some great beans and veggies. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience “cooking for one”.
