‘I know inflation is crazy, but this is nuts’: Duo spending $1,300 on groceries every month scores 32+ tips from frugal altruists

Watching the grocery store cashier ring up your food items, makes every working-class shopper rethink that second box of gourmet cookies.

Scroll for the full account of some grocery store short-cuts that might just save you hundreds on your next Trade Joe's run.
