Shopping where the deals are. Don't be loyal to a brand. It's easy, but if you're going to keep going to get Hellmanns mayo at full price, Aldi has one that's their home brand that tastes just as delicious at a fraction of the price.
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. I do a lot of cooking at home, and I teach myself to make delicious and nutritious foods that may be copycats of what we'd get at restaurants. It's a fun little challenge at a much cheaper price for way more than just one portion.
Sometimes I just want to go vego for a few days or weeks, so I go online and find some budget food recipes (beans, lentils, rice, etc.), and I usually find some really good ones.
Back home in Canada, I was couponing a lot. This was 8+ years, ago, I don't know what it's like now. Coupon culture is not a thing in Australia, but I shop mostly at Aldi. There's a Coles and Woolies just across the street, so I do my research on what's cheapest, and buy that item there.
I buy in bulk if I know I'm going to eat it all. I go hard on the pantry items.
Shop what's in season.
Shop your local Asian grocer! Sometimes they have stuff way cheaper than supermarkets.
