Food hacks to deal with rising food prices/inflation

[Anonymous]

What ideas/changes have you made to deal with/react to rising food prices?

For us, I order meats when they are on sale at Omaha Steaks, Kansas City Steaks and Schwanns + keep them in our freezer and have enough food for a month (small fridge/freezer). Then, when my dh goes to store,we do not have any meat costs. I do not eat meat, so we save that way too. Empty-nesters.

What do you do?

Is Omaha Steaks, KC Steaks and Schwanns, cheaper than Costco for steaks?

Just when here are big sales.

We've been trying to cut down on our red meat consumption for many years now. When we make tacos, we add some mashed red beans to the cooked and seasoned meat. A plus is that this does stretch the meat so it goes further. We also add some canned corn to the meat mixture as well, but maybe that is not to everyone's taste.

Well, if you are such a naysayer, what are you doing to deal with rising food prices?

Never, which is why I cannot even respond to the OP. Not sure how anyone on a budget thinks ordering food online is cheaper than shopping in store sales.

We have been stocking up on canned veges when they are on sale. I like your idea to add corn.

Here’s a “hack” for you, OP.
Stop eating so much meat.

I came here to post the same thing.

This, OP. For so many reasons, you should be eating less meat.

So refreshing to see a post like this on DCUM.

Did you read her post? The OP doesn't even eat meat - this is for her DH and it sounds like he's cutting back.

I don't know, but I think "steak delivery service" and food hacks to cut back on costs don't go together.

For those of us who enjoy meat, one of my “hacks” is to use half ground beef/half ground turkey for any ground meat recipe like chili, bolognese, meatloaf, etc. You get that savory meaty taste, since the beefy flavor still dominates, but you save money since ground turkey is cheaper.

Not much cheaper.

How about meatloaf?
