Only things I've ever had to throw out have been things that come in really large packages, like lettuce (extremely cheap and not the main part of a diet anyway, so it doesn't matter if half of it goes to waste) and other big leafy vegetables that are very cheap, like Kale or other non-essentials.
Most meats come in package sizes well suited for individual consumption:
1. Sirloin Steak = 2 portions
2. Package of turkey/chicken breasts = 2 portions
3. Rotisserie chicken = 2 meals/portions
4. Fish filet (salmon, tilapia, etc.) = various packaging, but easy enough to pick for 1 or 2 portions with no leftovers.
If you're a single person household and you buy a 20lb turkey for yourself...well that's on you for not being able to do basic arithmetic.
