I sometimes get slack for not finishing everything that I buy, especially when it's in bulk at Costco. But I refuse to sit there and swallow 8 chocolate muffins just because they're deemed perishable.

Why buy bulk? It is worse eating more than you should. Just buy what you can consume in the allotted time it is still good. Also freezing is a good way to preserve food if you insist on buying in bulk.

Eating more than you should is. If you cant eat 8 chocolate muffins in the time period, don't buy them though, until they are fresh and last longer. When they are, if you are going to eat 6it's all right. If less, don't buy muffins at all, or find something to do with them, like crush a few up or something and put them into ice cream, or give them to a neighbor if there is about 4 or more left, in a gladware container or something.
Hope it helps.

I say that if you can't finish it it's totally okay. It's not that I'm wasteful but I've never been weird about giving people a hard time for not finishing something. It is definitely better to not finish food than eat more than you should.

Never eat more than you wan't. I'm 71 and heard thousands of time about all the hungry children in the world. If you eat everthing on your plate, they still go to bed hungry. If you trash half of the food on your plate, they still go to bed hungry. I lived in the middle of the great depression, lots of people went to bed hungry each night. This nation is entering a recession. By March of 2008 it will be a full blown depression. I suggest you began to horde beans, rice, and other grains. It will be here before you believe.

Eating more than I should. Because, I feel like I'm going to get sick and really stuffed, therefore, I'd rather not finish a meal then eat too much.

Buy what you can eat, just because it's a bargain doesn't mean you have to get it...
Muffins freeze well.

I shouldn't take too long to figure out how much you feel comfotable eating. I never waste food, nor do I stuff myself.

It is much better for you, if you do not eat much!
