[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seafood once a week max, turkey, tofu, and ground beef the rest of the time. 
Canned tuna with olive oil and balsamic is a quick easy protein meal. 
Even if the grocery bill is higher, cooking most of the meals brings the total cost lower. 
Wegmans house brands are good and cheaper than name brands even if more expensive than Aldi so a trip to Wegmans where I can get it all done is worth it in the long run if I can't get myself to do the other stops. 
I also bake some kind of quick bread and make some kind of baked dessert on Sundays. This has a trickle down effect to reduce the cost of snacks/lunches out during the week.

I've been tracking expenses carefully since. June 2024. Should have been doing it longer. The thing that has the biggest effect is not what I pick at the grocery story, but the act of meal planning and cooking at home instead of doing prepared foods or even fast casual has the biggest effect. This is the sum of Groceries, snacks (vending machine swipes at work), lunch (one adult would do a sandwich shop almost daily during the week), and dinners out in June and then last month.
