[quote=Anonymous]I buy meat on sale: for example, I bought two huge packages of chicken thighs and chicken drumsticks that were on sale for 99 cents a pound last weekend.  The thighs fed me and my husband for lunch through the week, and the drummies will do the same next week (he WFH, I WOH but always bring a lunch).

I’ve started swapping/supplementing fresh vegetables with frozen.  Still organic.

More for health and religious reasons, but my husband and I have all but quit drinking, save for special occasions out (we had a couple of drinks for his birthday celebration out last weekend, and will probably get a drink or two when we go out on “date night” at the beach in April, but won’t drink between these occasions.) This has been a HUGE cost savings.

We’ve stopped eating breakfast for Lent, but with the cost and time savings (and associated weight loss) might just keep that up.

Generally just focusing on sales for produce etc.  Rarely buy processed foods outside of bread, pasta, and rice.

Pretty much completely stopped eating out or getting takeout (again, save for special occasions).

It’s a much humbler kitchen than it used to be.[/quote]
