I’m with you. I clean up a messy ice cream cone with my tongue. It’s a tool that’s always handy and — call it cheap, if you must — costs nothing.

One avocado is one serving in my house. 

I’m old. I’m more optimistic than most people I know — simply due to experience. No, this isn’t “the worst thing that’s ever happened”. It may be irksome/worrisome/hurtful to you. It may be something we should change. But it’s by no means “the worst thing that’s ever happened.”

If you’re willing to learn how to store food, bulk buying can be worthwhile. For instance, milk can be frozen in its original packaging.
