[quote=Anonymous]But cheaper produce and cuts of meat. Really look at the price per pound. There are fruits and vegetables that cost under $2/lb and some that are 4x that! Eat more bananas, apples, carrots, cabbage, cucumber and less bell peppers, berries, and lettuce. Look at frozen (Costco has a good variety) and canned options too. Instead of processed meat alternatives, use more eggs and beans. Cereal has gotten really expensive, so I switched to oats (which are expensive too but not as bad). Look for sales and build your menus around them. Buy nonperishable/freezable stuff in bulk if you will actually use it. Also, occasionally do a no shop week. Make a commitment to eat what is in your house, even if the combinations are a little weird. I like doing this before going on vacation...clears out the fridge and saves some money. People have already said how to cut back on takeout so I won't add to that![/quote]
