[quote=Anonymous]I started buying generic for a lot of things.

I agree with the PP who said they save money shopping online. While delivery means extra fees, I find it much easier to avoid impulse buys and to compare prices. It also helps me meal plan around sales. DH hates when I get delivery so I stopped for a while but our grocery bill skyrocketed.

I’m happy to eat vegetarian which would reduce our costs but DH likes his animal protein. DD recently had to go on a very restricted diet and chicken, beef and fish are pretty much all she’s allowed so that has made the bill increase on top of inflation. In the past, I cooked vegetarian all but 2 nights.

I have moved away from prepackaged snacks. I still buy the huge cheap box of granola bars at Costco but I’m no longer buying anything else. Those individual servings add up.

I’ve stopped with organic produce unless it’s on sale for the same price as conventional.

I stick with less expensive fruits (cut back on berries as one person can eat a pint in a sitting).

I’ve always baked so I don’t spend much on grocery breads and desserts.  It is much cheaper to make them if you enjoy the process. [/quote]
