ok this video came at the perfect time honestly. i've been trying to be better with money lately and it's been a slow process lol but small things really do add up. the biggest game changer for me was just… waiting a day before buying stuff i don't actually need. sounds simple but 9 times out of 10 i forget about it the next day and don't even want it anymore 😂 also i started actually comparing prices instead of just buying from the first site i see, which feels obvious now but i never used to do it. found Valuecom while looking for some stuff for my apartment and ended up saving more than i expected, was kind of surprised tbh. anyway thanks for this, definitely taking some of these tips with me.
When I was single, I had a "broke shelf" in my kitchen of cheap, shelf-stable foods that could carry me through lean weeks. Each week or two, I'd buy a couple of things and left them for the times when my budget was really tight. They weren't favourites, that I'd have eaten right away, but basic stuff I could rely on. It got me through some really lean years.
That flyer near the beginning 2:13 made me nostalgic. It's been a minute since I have seen chicken for $1.99 per lb. In 2011 I remember that being easy to find, nowadays not so much
If you're able to improvise and use them up soon, marked down produce is often 50% off, and bread and pastries as well.
I don't see more than 30% off of marked down meat, but sometimes I see some things left on sale and then marked down as well. I found an Easter ham a week later with that combo for $2 per lb, still good dated for a while because it was cured. I sliced it up and froze it in week sized portions, enough for a month if I wanted to get tired of ham, plus a good soup bone.

Or you can eat once a day and buy a high calorie fast food meal for that $12 and not even enter the grocery store
House brands are disgusting

I'm in the Okanogan Valley BC Canada and I have never seen meat 50% off. The most I've seen is 30% off and lately all I see is 25% off
