Shoutout to my friend who pointed out my grocery cart math was all wrong
For years, I thought I was a pro at saving money on food. I'd buy the big family pack of chicken because the price per pound was lower, or get the giant tub of yogurt. The moment it clicked was at my friend's place in Tacoma. She saw my fridge and just said, 'You know half that stuff goes bad before you eat it, right?' I was spending maybe $40 more a trip on 'bulk savings' but then throwing out a third of it. Now I stick to smaller packs of what I'll actually use in a week, and my bill went down. My mileage may vary, but has anyone else had to unlearn a 'saving' habit that was actually costing you?
