My roommate and I are both college students, my roommate and I both work on campus so we don’t make a whole lot of money. We try to budget around $75-$85 for food each week and try to cook larger meals using rice beans and vegetables to supplement not having as much meat. I know we can lower our grocery bill even more. What are the best places to shop for produce, essentials, meat, and carbs like rice and pasta? What’s worthwhile buying raw vs canned? I’m sure this is a common think here but we really need advice. We don’t need anything free or donations as there are people who definitely need that stuff more. Edit: are there any farmers markets or local sellers that worth going to?
