We tried making meal plans for two week periods before going shopping, but that led to some food waste since we are sometimes hit with specific cravings and ignore the plan willy-nilly.

Most people are in desperate need of a good old-fashioned handyman to do everything from hanging a ceiling fan to cleaning out gutters. Lean into cheap meals. Avoid meals that require pricier ingredients , and lean into budget-friendly meals. Dining out, fast food drive-throughs, and Starbucks all have to stop.

I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. Cutting Down.
