Learn to can? Even if you can’t grow your own veggies/fruit are usually cheaper in season.

My mom used to buy peaches by the bushel and can enough for all year.

You’d have upfront costs for canning supplies but reuse most things after that.

Might find someone getting rid if supplies on marketplace if you watch.

Or freeze if you have space.

I know friends that can together so bonus social time
I container grow some things, even a little bit helps

I was going to suggest growing also. But farmers markets are another good source.

Learning to preserve the growing season food will get you through winter.

Along with growing vegetables how about a meat source.

Chickens or rabbits are a smaller option. Learn to raise and process them.

Do you know anyone who farms? A quarter beef if you know where it came from and how it’s been processed….

Get a meat slicer to make lunch meat out of those beautiful roasts. Sometimes bulk is cheaper but no always.

Know your prices by weight. Watch for sales and try to hit 2 grocery stores.

Fresh co and no frills.

Maybe you can save on other staple groceries

Do you have an ALDIs near you? Cheapest grocery store but high quality food as well including organic.

[Zayne]

Aldi has a decent selection of organics, and I know their brands are lower chemical/dye overall.

Might be worth looking

My suggestion is do-it-yourself food prep. For example, don’t buypotato salad or mashed potatoes in a package, buy potatoes and prepare them yourself.

Don’t buy pizza, make it yourself.

Anyway you can grow and process your own food, like vegetables? This way your in control of what’s added to the soil and what’s added to the contents before processing.

Aldi is a good start. Find out if there are any discount or salvage stores nearby or close enough to make a trip.

We have a salvage store in Oklahoma City, and I’ve often found amazing deals on organic foods there.

Also shop sales and see if your store has digital coupons.

I know Kroger does.

We just don’t have a store in this state.
