[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admire all of you who have done such an amazing job of controlling your food budgets, and I'm especially impressed with how delicious your menus are.

But I don't have the time/energy/bandwidth to get to know what items are cheaper at WF/Aldi/Giant/Wegman's etc (let alone make a spreadsheet about it). Or make my own granola and hummus and bread. Or even spend a weekend day meal prepping. And I know I never will. I left for work yesterday at 6:30am and got home at 8:30. Too tired for most of this stuff, y'all. [/quote]

This is OP. I don’t think this thread is for you ;) and that is okay.

I’m already spending a lot of time shopping different stores and cooking from scratch. Reading everyone’s responses the only thing I could do is go completely vegetarian (we have two to three non meat days a week already) or make super basic meals that no one will enjoy. [/quote]

It sounds like you are convinced that you cannot save money, so there’s no point in telling you otherwise.

For people with a more open mind, there’s no reason meals have to be super basic and unenjoyable. Restrictions can spark creativity. There are a billion blogs that can show you how. Here are 2, off the top of my head:
