We shop for deals. We found bacon for 2.99 yesterday at Hyvee so we stocked up. We found Chicken Breasts for 2.50 a pound. etc.
Also, I don't remember the last time I've bought a ribeye. At best, I'll get a NY strip steak but I've started eating more sirloins lately, which you can still find for pretty good prices. We are also more vigilant with eating leftovers. I've never been a big leftover person but it gets hard throwing food away. |

Haven’t changed anything & my grocery bill went from $500/month to $1000/month.
I can’t give up shrimp, steak & caviar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Down to 3 almonds & 8 glasses of water a day. It’s the new “Kate Moss diet.“

I started working from home mostly, so our grocery bills have gone up because I eat most of my meals at home now. I do HyVee mostly, try to rack up gas points to help with gas prices. Also since I'm not driving 65 miles round trip to work a day I don't burn nearly as much gas. I can get through a month with two fill ups now, used to be about five. With gas points I paid $1.95 a gallon on my last fill. I bring the car in on fumes and fill as much as I can. I also check specials. Had my first steak in a long time last week. Doing a lot of ham and chicken and ground beef. My friend Mr. Doggity hickory smoked a bone in ham for me after Easter. I carved it down into cryovac packages for individual meals, and got about six meals off of just that one ham. Little things like that go a long way. Also, I'm feeling better and have lost a little weight from eating healthier. One other tip: Casey's accepts HyVee gas points. So when I'm needing to buy gas, I go to HyVee, buy a $50 gift card to Casey's. That gives you $.10 cents a gallon bonus. Then cash the points and buy the gas at Casey's. If you can squeeze 17 gallons you'll save $1.70 on a fill up just by doing this.

KFC - 8 chicken strips, (nothing else) $16.80. I guess higher wages paid plus they are paying more for their chicken.
Same shitty service though. |

Pork chops can also soothe the itch for a grilled steak if marinated right.
