Plan around staples
Build meals around affordable staples (rice, beans, eggs, seasonal produce).
Shop with a list
Make a short list and stick to it; avoid impulse aisles when possible.
Compare unit prices
Use unit price labels to choose better value sizes; avoid waste by matching quantities to your household.
Track simply
Track weekly spend in a few categories (produce, protein, pantry) and adjust the next week.
