‘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. As the receipt tallies your haul of hunted and gathered groceries, it's hard not to think of those days when a family of four could live off of a $20 grocery store run for a whole week– nowadays, $20 gets you a box of lettuce, 12 eggs, and a cluster of bananas (if you're lucky). 

Shrinkflation and rising costs may be lining the pockets of the grocery conglomerate's pockets, but it's having a devastating effect on the common man's wallet. However discouraging it may seem out there, as we all desperately try to fill the fridge, one couple collected an astonishingly simple list of money-saving tips from some of the most frugal shoppers online. 

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