Oh I am so sorry to hear this! I’ve found that if I can’t find any ways to lower my grocery expenses, then it might be time to try to lower a different budget category instead. Is their another part of your budget you can lower to help you to not come up short anymore?

I always pay with cash so I start out with $260 a month n I get $250 a month in food stamps, but my problem is I’m a diabetic, so I can’t eat bread, rice, pasta, beans fruit. Everything that I get is very expensive n I always run out of money before I run out of month. I always make a meal plan n I plan for lots of leftovers but I still come up short every month. I cook everyday I never go out to eat, so I’m hoping to learn some tricks to help me with this. THanks

Growing a garden has saved me so much money too!

My husband always tells me to look at the cost per ounce/pound on what we are buying. The cost for prepackaged foods in ridiculous. Steak my be $7.50 a pound, but prepackaged snacks can be $10 or more per pound which he calls junk as when you read the ingredients, they are mostly fillers and additives, not food. We have a garden or fruit trees, berry bushes, berry plants, raised beds for herbs and an area where we put in the ground directly tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, green & yellow beans, snow peas, eggplant and cabbage. We got over 125 quarts of blueberries alone last year. At $8 per quart, we are eating tasty fresh fruits and saving a lot of money. I made jams and froze gallon bags of berries to use in my lunches for work and cooking/baking. I canned pickles, made sauce, salsa and froze a lot of berries and vegetables to fill my two freezers. We have chickens, ducks and guinea fowl that we get eggs from as well as extra we sell. We don’t use pesticides as one we don’t want the poison in our food and second we keep bees for pollination and we sell the honey. So we save money, make some with our side gigs and eat healthier. My kids love eating the cherry tomatoes right off the vines, a very healthy snack. So our method for saving on our grocery bill is to grow our own food. Make no mistake, it is work and there are costs of tools, equipment, seeds, etc. but we feel we get a great return on our investment. Mind you not everyone has the property or the know how to garden, but there are a lot of wasted space where people just plant grass. Sadly that is the greatest waste of water, exceeding the use of all he water used for agricultural products in the US. And people can start small with plants in pots or small raised beds. It is very rewarding picking the fresh fruits and vegetables and eating them fresh.

Thank you so much for this article! ?? Heather]]> Just read through these tips after seeing it from your post on Instagram, which I follow you on.

Thank you for this article! I agree so much with every tip! I have recently gone from vegetarian (which lasted a couple days) to fill on veganism and I still love your tips! The pantry idea (with the kids) is SO CUTE!

I’m all for competition with yourself, on spreading out grocery days. I compete with myself regularly and it pays off! ♥️

Only issue is, I live in Canada so I’ll have to look further into receipt apps but that’s not a problem!

Thank you so much for this article! ??
