We make almost everything from scratch. I cook 4-5 days a week and she cooks the remainder. We do splurge and get a pizza or go to a mom and pop restaurant twice a month. I'm super frugal. It's almost like a hobby to me. We always buy to stock too. We have a FIFO rotation on all of our goods.
Cereal on sale is now original price pre-plandemic. Meat has went up almost 50% and I am seeing around 25% increase across the board for all the other eatable foods.
Remember to buy the cereal in bags, as it's a lot cheaper. Also, wait for meat to be marked down for quick sale. That's all I buy at our regular grocery store. There's another store in another county that has meat sales occasionally, and I'll drive over and get several coolers full of pork loins, which they cut up for free. The beef is great and a good price for what it is, but it's too expensive for me.
