[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew people would immediately start knocking you for spending too much on food.  However, I spend that much and on food and have forever (on an inflation-adjusted basis).  I’m now 41 and doing well financially.

As a single person, there’s no way I’m going to waste time preparing elaborate dishes – not to mention grocery shopping and dishwashing – to feed just one person. Since you referenced your “buddies,” I’m assuming you are a guy, and this is especially likely the case for single men.

As long as you keep your other expenses in check, you’ll be fine.  And hopefully since you’re 27, you still will be able to increase your income meaningfully over the years.[/quote]

You don't have to make elaborate dishes.

Make 1 or 2 dishes per week and make them for 4-5 people.  Freeze 2-3 servings of each for future weeks. Then eat the same thing for 2 nights or take it the next day for lunch.  By eating 3 dinners at home you will save a ton and likely eat healthier.  
On weekend every 2-3 months, make a lasagna and freeze the rest in individual servings.  Then with a bag of salad or precut veggies you have dinner (really it's 9-10 more dinners)
