Folks on specialty diets - how do you save on groceries?
My household has cut out the majority of our expenses. We're down to just the utilities (electric, water, the least expensive functional internet plan, cheapest phone plan that fits our needs,) our medical expenses (manufacturer's coupons and savings programs to the max,) and the real killer - food.
Everyone here has a different allergen profile \*and\* medical diet, meaning shared meals are rarely possible.
I have never successfully grown a single vegetable, but I am giving it another go this year. While I utilize food pantries (passing on what none of us can eat,) compare prices per ounce, shop online (can't impulse buy if I can't see it!) and shop sales religiously (if it's a staple that lasts, I'm buying double or triple,) our food budget still ends up near the price of our rent!
How do others with specialized diets keep their food budgets reasonable?
