I grow a lot of my food in a fairly small space, and it's quite easy. There's also a community garden a few blocks away. Everything else is avoiding corporate supermarkets as they seem to have the worst quality at the highest price for meats, baked goods, etc. So I'm rarely doing a grocery shop and notice my money goes much slower.

If you're struggling to get groceries, assess your receipt and look for alternatives. Reducing spend while increasing quality is definitely a thing with staples.
