You need to start paying attention to the weekly grocery ad and planning your meals for the week based on what’s on sale. When a favorite protein is on sale, buy extra and put some in the freezer.
I think my average for 2 is less than half yours. Primarily Aldi, with Safeway/TJs for the occasional other item.

Lidl is opening near us soon, that will help.

Definitely. But the meal planning based on sale items is the heart of it, honestly.

Will start checking the coupons and try meal planning, thanks

Needing to buy what’s on sale to save money?

OP idk how everyone else is so low but we also spend about 800/mo on food for two people. Shopping primarily at Safeway, WF only for specific items. Between breakfast lunch and dinner 7 days a week we are struggling to keep costs down. Maybe we need to hike to Aldi too!

Safeway (at least by DuPont) is soooooo expensive. Like even worse than Whole Foods I think. I went for a box of Frosted Flakes - it was like 7.50! Compared to like 4 at Walmart or 5 for a cereal at Whole Foods

I was starting to feel crazy lol. Guessing you also buy meat/fish frequently?
etrain828 t1_jadhxxg wrote
I feel like between fresh fruit, veggies, and eggs (eggs are killer)… fish, yes. Killer!
questionsbecause OP t1_jadjiou wrote
Good fish is 10.99/lb on deal. Great fish is closer to $20/lb which I refuse to spend.

Are you saying the new Aldi is opening here? Or is this where you live?
questionsbecause OP t1_jada32b wrote
sorry, it’s actually a new Lidl that will open in that location

That's cool too. Any idea when it's opening? I couldn't find any details online.
questionsbecause OP t1_jadj5mi wrote
It was supposed to be open end of 2022 but taking longer. Q3 is my guess.

There is an app called Flipp that carries promotions.

And all the ads for your local stores.
Helps me typically always find boneless chicken breasts for $2 a pound.
