If you really want to save some money, plant a garden and start canning. Just take tomatoes for example. Last summer I bought eight tomato plants. For a cost of $12, I made about 100 quarts of Bloody Mary mix, salsa, stewed tomatoes, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and tomato sauce.

Invsst in an upright freezer. So many opportunities to save and not eat the same thing all week.

Carbs...
Pasta, Rice, Potatoes are all cheap as dirt. Avoid bread.
Veggies/Fruits...
Dried beans are cheaper and healthier than canned. The water is free.
Buy large bags of frozen carrots, peas, okra, etc and use as needed. Much healthier than canned. Not as good as fresh but cheaper. For fresh produce I'd go with apples and bananas.
Protein...
Beef is very expensive due to stock shortages. Concentrate on Chicken, Pork and Seafood. Frozen bags of catfish fillets are cheap and use as needed.
Don't waste money on candy, cookies, cake, pie, etc. They're just empty calories.

Lentils, rices, and beans are very cheap sides. Check your local grocery store for sales and freeze.

Cook more servings. Save servings in freezer. Thaw them out.
If you have 10-15 meals that you can scale up, you can have a different meal every day for 2 weeks! And on standby ready to thaw out whenever! Pretty good!
