Came across a money saving tip that's totally obvious, but I couldn't think of it at the question of how.
The clue is this:
The average person throws away 30-40% of food they buy... Oh. Oh! Yeah, obviously you save money when you use up food before it's past best/okay to use so you don't need to buy new. I knew I waste money when I throw things out but I hadn't thought of better planning as THE key technique to save so much money. Weird how that goes some times.

The US wholesale inflation did decrease
With lower food costs a major piece
Falling prices, rising stress
A sign of the times I'd guess
Let's hope the trend continues to spread and to increase

Food costs
Mindful and wise
Effect on health and drift
From friends, budget too tight
Struggling seniors sigh

Shocking realization: because I am all alone, I pay way more for single servings of food

After deciding to watch the Superbowl by myself, I splurged and bought my first game day bucket of chicken and sides from Walmart

There are over 4 meals in that bucket, for less than $4 a meal! That's hot, freshly cooked yummy foods for less than a bad frozen dinner

Now I know.
