Buying things on sale and freezing works for me. There is no way in hell I'm paying premium for chicken breasts when there are tons of other meats that cost almost half as much per pound. And no, I'm not talking trotters and crap like that. Best purchase lately was a 17-pound pork shoulder we got for less than a buck a pound. Cut it up, froze most, lasted a hell of a long time and was really tasty. What in the world are trotters? When we were in college about 15 years ago we spent roughly $30-40 a week on food. We didn't have any kind of a meal plan on campus either. We were able to keep it down a lot because there was this awesome store in the city where we lived that sold "damaged" goods. Like cases of noodles where a few boxes had gotten a little squished on top and just didn't look very pretty, things like that. They also had frozen meats, dairy, etc. for really good prices. -----signature----- There are no automatic doors, just very polite ninjas

Really bad racehorses.
