[quote=Anonymous]Family of 3… I’ve managed to get down from $1200/mo. in 2020 when I was buying lots of extras to stock up, to about $800/mo. now. We also spend about $400 eating out/take out. My only good tricks are cheap, repetitive weeknight meals, Home Chef a couple times a week sometimes, and growing expensive fruits & veggies (blueberries & tomatoes). DH and I aren’t breakfast eaters, and we usually eat leftovers for lunch. It also helps to do grocery pickup so I only order exactly what I need and no impulse purchases. I do different stores for different items so I can save $$ that way. (e.g., it’s $4 cheaper to buy 3 half gallons of organic milk at Aldi than to buy the 3-pack at Costco). Using Instacart for ordering really helps you compare prices. [/quote]
