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.
Canned is usually the worst option in terms of both nutrition and palatability.
I agree with you, but it seems that for many people, convenience is more important than almost anything else. Which is exactly how the food industry makes most of their profits.
I find frozen to be the most convenient for many veggies, but I would imagine it doesn’t appear that way to anyone who’s used to cans.
Maybe they have a small freezer, idk. We have a vegetable subscription from a local farm, it’s great. Vegetables get delivered once a week, and they’re so fresh we can really taste the difference.
I like to buy fresh as-needed and to enjoy seasonality but to also have my favorite staples in the freezer.
