Not pictured are a dozen eggs and a 5lb sack of spuds under the cilantro.

I’m to that age where I take great joy in comparative shopping. I’m sure I could have saved a few more bucks if I had shopped around a bit more, but this wasn’t bad.

Total was $66.64.

Some highlights I think are great value

$1.99/lb chicken breast $0.33 per avocado $2.99 per Red Baron pizza $0.79 per can of tuna

    Helpful point about meat, any suggestions on places to check for better deals on meat? Increasingly I’m just reducing the amount of it I eat, but being broke as shit I’m always trying to keep in mind where’s a good place to buy what

      I suppose that can be geographically dependent. I just so happen to live near a grocer that has a good thing going with local farmers. The meat is from Save A Lot. They typically have great value in meat in my area. Particularly pork and chicken, but often beef too. Save A Lot cuts their own meat and they’re not the best at it, but that savings they do pass on.

        I should really look up if there are local grocers around me other than farmers markets. Thanks for your thoughts!
