Do you shop sales only, buy certain/most/all things in bulk (freeze, dry goods), coupon, shop multiple stores, change eating habits to save money?
Just curious as I seem to be spending a reDONKulous amount of money on food but we are also currently feeding an extra person and both my wife and I eat somewhat "special" diets (keto-ish and vegetarian/gluten free) which ends up costing us quite a bit more.

Much more cautious and price comparing in the last few months. Some of the price increases are large or packaging is much smaller. -- nm

I have identified the sensible grocery stores in my hood and then promptly ignored them in favor of Japanese specialty markets one city over. -- nm

I buy more in bulk: TP, meats which I vacuum seal and freeze, cereal, snacks. I try to get sales as well. We are trying to eat takeout less. -- (edited)

We shop at both Costco and Whole Foods (5 minute walk). Don't look at sales. We're good about using every bit of food and not buying large until empty -- nm

I’m lucky if I remember everything on my list, let alone trying to be strategic about it. -- (edited)
