• Watch grocery sales and only restock your pantry when prices are low

• Your butcher is your friend - if roasts are cheaper than ground beef, ask the butcher to grind the roast for you
  
  
• Shop discount grocers like Aldi and Trader Joes
  
  
• Buy spices in bulk - many Amish and Mennonite stores offer deeply discounted spices

• Plan your leftovers - food thrown away is money thrown away
