[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who aren't just trying to use grocery prices to score political points and truly are just managing your household budget, what have you been doing to make it work? What have you changed?[/quote]

Cutting out/reducing the "extras" that aren't particularly good for you anyway such as chips, soda, brownie mixes. Essentially, cut way back on "snacks" aside from a few spouse seems to "need." For dietary reasons, I unfortunately can't do a lot of pasta. Aldi for the items we like/tolerate from there (certain fruits, lettuce, potatoes, nuts, ground beef/chicken, cereal, tortilla chips, etc. I've been buying eggs there for a long time but have determined they just aren't as good. So now that egg prices have come down, I sometimes "splurge" on better eggs at the other stores. 
More generic v. preferred brands of items. (many of Aldi line foods are actually quite good)
In all honesty, it's been easier and more manageable since the kids are away at school and it's just the two of us.
We also do not eat out/just pick something up nearly as often. And we do not host friends much anymore.
