PSA: My weekly food bill went from $120 to $75 by switching one thing
For the past two months, I tracked every grocery dollar. I was spending about $120 a week for two people, mostly on fresh meat and veggies. The change came when I started buying whole chickens instead of just breasts or thighs. One $8 chicken gives us two dinners of roast chicken, then I use the bones for soup stock that makes another meal. Has anyone else found a single switch that cut their costs this much?

Wow, that's great for you, but my chicken prices are still crazy high.

Ever consider it's just your store?

the weird thing is how uneven it all is, some people get lucky with a local store that hasn't jacked prices while others get stuck with the same old gouging. it's like the whole supply chain just broke in different ways depending on where you live and nobody talks about that part. feels like we're all just hoping our corner of the world gets a break before the next thing goes up.
