It’s gone up too much and am looking for general tips to bring it down a bit.

  • A lot of the "pre-made" stuff, we cut down on. Cheaper to make breakfast burritos rather than spend $2 per burrito.

  • finding when they mark down prices. My supermarket always throws 50% off stickers on hot food around 3pm on certain days. I can get a whole 10pc fried chicken for $6.

  • eat more staples. Most of my meals are now rice + protein + vegetables. Or bread + veggies + proteins.

  • Asian supermarkets sell things cheaper

  • mostly vegetarian diet. Meat is expensive AF. But lately, the meat alternatives are getting pricey too.
