Inflation is still high regardless of what the news is telling us. The answer is not buying food at Dollar Tree or Dollar General. Processed foods are not adequate nutrition. One of the first things you need to look at is the portion sizes you are eating and serving. The second thing is using whole foods to cook with. You may need to reduce your animal proteins.
There are times of the year when things are cheaper. The kids purchased computers for half the price they were six months ago.
Save 20% of each paycheck and put it into savings.
Take good care of your things. Simple organization systems will make it easy to keep things within reach and in good repair.
Make your own mixes and freezer meals for days when you are busy, unwell, or lazy.
Meal prep by cutting produce and storing it properly.
By less, make do, and go without. I think America struggles with going without. You do not need the latest and greatest of everything. Consumerism is out of control.
