Does anyone else do this: I tend to use more food out of a large package than a small one, for example, I used to buy shredded cheese at Costco and would use it by the handfull so it didn't get wasted, but now I get small packages at the grocery store and use a lot less at a time. I found this true of a lot of products like: nuts, granola, etc.

    The timing of this post was perfect--I just checked my local freecycle group and someone near me is giving away 10 lbs of brown rice. I was tempted to pick it up but thought no--I will just eat way too much of it because I would have so much in the cupboard.
