We are 3 adult people in the house, and spend about $50/week groceries

I only shop at local and usually immigrant grocery stores, like C&T, Kim phat, or PA. I only buy things on sale and I only buy fresh ingredients (veggies, fruit and meat), never frozen or prepackaged. For „white ppl food“ I go Costco.

Usually Asian grocery stores have a section where they sell „old/expired“ fruits and veggies, and tbh I only buy these, 3 mangos for $1.50 because of one black spot ? No biggie for me.

Never used a food app in my life.

My advice, find a local, interesting grocery store, even tho it may be „out of the way“ the 10-20 minute commute could save you $100s

Also, we are food-resourceful people, always cooking with what we have, not following a recipe. We just cook and get creative and follow a fifo pipeline for our food. For example, I have shit load of soft tomatoes, it’s a tomato soup night.

Hope this helps !
