[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to spend around $100 a week before prices raised so much. I'm probably at $125 a week or so. I do shop at Aldi and Lidl. I make most things from scratch. I buy meat at other grocery stores that is discounted because it is close to the (or on the) sell by date. I often buy bread that is also discounted (today, for example, was $.80 for English muffins as they were 30% off because the sell by date is tomorrow). I hit grocery stores only when they are near another task (today was a sports practice). I also get the produce on sale that week. [/quote]

Me again: tonight we had tilapia fillets from Aldi. They were 50% off. They expire on Tuesday. I bought three packages, each had 3 filets in them. Each package was around $4 before the discount. So 9 filets for $6. Of course, this means that you have to do flexible with what you will make, have freezer room (I bought 1 more package and froze it), and be an okay enough cook that you can pivot from usual rotated meals to ones that have things you found on sale.
