How do you reduce your monthly grocery bill without sacrificing nutrition. Does anyone have experience with meal planning or bulk buying strategies that have significantly cut their food costs? Please share some tips with me… 
Look through the weekly ads, and plan your meals around what’s on sale. Additionally, plant a garden to supplement your produce and herbs. More of an investment, plant fruit trees that grow well in your region.

I always look at the BOGO’s being offered each week. It is a good way to stock up on items that will not go bad before they are used.

Mark, here’s what we do… shop in more than one store; look for those items you like and when they’re on sale buy several; also shop in big box stores (BJ, Costco); when GMO’s came out we switched to organic only; reduce your intake of red meat, buy more fish (canned sardines are cheap and healthy); have more veggie-only meals: veggie tacos, salads, pasta; freeze any leftovers for another meal; don’t buy cut-up fruit (you’re paying for labor), purchase whole fruit; buy in season items: watermelon, whole pineapple, sweet potatoes; try the store brands rather than the brand names, especially the organic items.
