My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
Just as an example, 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes is $1.54 and a 24 oz jar of pasta sauce is $1.74. Both are Walmart brand. So, not much difference. Are there still tariffs on tomatoes?
If you can get a decent sauce for $1.74, you should definitely buy it. I don’t shop at Walmart, but around me, sauces tend to be $3+, even house brands, and I find that they still need to be supplemented with more herbs like garlic.
Now and then, Publix will have one of the imported tomatoes brands for 10 cans for $10. You can make a lot of sauce for $10, and a bunch of seasonings, most of which are very easy to grow.
