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

Have you identified what the most expensive food group or food category for you is? That can help us give you some direction.

For me, making beans in a pressure cooker instead of buying canned saved us a ton.

Buying bagged potatoes instead of frozen fries helped too.

Using a bread making made a difference.

Stocking up when actual good deals come up helps over time.

My most expensive food group is meat for sure. Beef has gone down a little bit in price but it’s still much higher than 4 years ago.
