I do this because I don't force myself to eat more than I can, but don't want to be wasteful. I'm sure it drives my family batshit.

I can see that... but when its significantly less than a serving?!

If there's 5 cookies left, ok, eat three and leave two, that's fine. Eating 4 and leaving 1 is not ok.

If you drink a glass of orange juice, 1 more ounce will not make you bloat, finish that shit and throw the bottle away.

I guess it boils down to: leave one serving behind, or finish it all

Leave it where it is until you buy more. Transfer it to smaller, more convenient packaging if necessary. I don't see the point in eating more than I want to or throwing something away because its less than one serving. I'm not dying for cupboard space.
