Yes, it really is that simple :-) Where many of my neighbors put out a couple of overflowing wheelie bins every week, I put out the old-fashioned trash can about every other week - and even then, it's hardly ever full. They don't give me a break on my trash bill, though.
If you want to carry things a step further, look around for a store that has a lot of things in bulk. The one I shop at (which has the not-undeserved reputation as the el cheapo place where all the illegals shop - it's so cheap it doesn't even have Muzak, which is why I started shopping there :-)) has not just bulk flour, but about 15 different kinds of flour. No packaging, just scoop up however much you want, and if you're an extremist, you can bring your own bags.
