Grocery Shopping While Single

How to do it on the cheap

Fewer people are single these days. In 2023, 42% of adults were neither married nor living with an unmarried partner, according to a Pew Research Study — a decline since 2019. 

 

We’re all familiar with the financial benefits of being coupled up: cost-sharing, tax breaks, security and more. But singledom has its own financial perks, too — you’ve got more time on your hands, more autonomy with career choices and you don’t have to compromise on financial decisions. 

 

Grocery shopping for one, however, can pose its own challenges. Store portions are often too large for just one person and many recipes are tailored for families or couples, which ups the chances of wasting food and therefore wasting money. But there are ways to shop and eat frugally while single. Check out our guide for tips to help you save at the grocery store.
