$30 Grocery Haul Lasted Me 7 Days—Here’s How I Did It
Trying to keep my food budget under control is a daily challenge, especially with how much I need to eat just to keep my energy up.
I’ve found that shopping late in the evening can help snag some serious discounts—stores often mark down bread, meat, and produce that’s close to its sell-by date. Stocking up on these and freezing what I can has saved me a lot.
Bulk items like rice, oats, and pasta are my go-tos. They’re cheap, filling, and you can mix them with whatever protein or veggies are on sale that week. Canned beans are a lifesaver—protein, fiber, and super affordable. I usually make a big batch of something like chili or stir-fry and eat it over a few days. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps me from feeling hungry all the time.
If anyone has more ideas for cheap, filling meals, I’m all ears.
