My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
It really depends on circumstance. Do you have a broad pallette, do you cook, do you have access to land or community garden to grow pricer food per calorie (lettuce, fruit), will you lower your meat intake, can you reduce meals on the go or nights out?
There are a lot of ways to reduce your food budget, the biggest is refraining from eating out. Probably followed by more meals without meat, which is healthier anyway. Americans eat way too much meat. If you are a creative cook you can make the food you have on hand go further, instead of letting random ingredients go to waste.
Ahh thanks, didnt notice. Not a word I use enough to notice the difference, pallette/palate. I also have a phoneme disorder that makes recognizing the difference difficult.
It’s not just you, English spelling is a disaster. Other languages are mostly or completely consistent. Only in English is “Gloster” spelled “Gloucester” and “kernel” “colonel”, while “lead” and “lead” have different pronounciations, depending on whether you mean the heavy metal or leadership.
