[quote=Anonymous]I buy staples like flour, olive oil, honey in bulk--25 lb bag of flour, restaurant size can of olive oil, half gallon honey, rolled oats in 5 lb bag--these at a natural/international foods store I've shopped at for certain things for years. Rarely eat meat as an entree, usually as an ingredient and like another poster said, less than recipes typically call for. Also sticking to lower cost produce like carrots and cabbage. A bunch of beets for $4 with 4 not very big beets? I love beets but no thanks. I make pita and sandwich bread. I'll sometimes buy some frozen convenience items if on sale just to have in the freezer for emergencies. Absolutely no berries outside of summer and no asparagus outside of spring. Use or freeze small amounts of leftovers. Sometimes I have regrets--I made a corn/black bean/green chili/cheese chowder and dumped a half used jar of mango salsa in and had to put in a lot of other stuff to overcome the fruity taste of the salsa.
