As grocery prices continue to climb, many face challenges in affording food. The Consumer Price Index reported a 1.9% annual increase in food costs. A Reddit user's concern about making $20 last for two weeks illustrates the severity of the issue. While difficult, making wise spending choices and seeking help through government aid or food pantries can alleviate some pressure. Tips for saving include shopping at discount stores like Aldi, opting for store brands, and planning meals carefully to maximize limited resources.
If you're having trouble keeping up with the high cost of groceries, you're definitely not alone. In February, food prices were up 1.9% on an annual basis.
With help, it's possible to make a $20 grocery budget last for two weeks, especially if that money is spent carefully.
When money is tight and there's not a lot of wiggle room in your budget, it's not the time to be picky about labels.
I've found that shopping at stores like Aldi results in much lower prices because you're buying unknown brands.
