If you have freezer space milk can be frozen for a later date. Fresh grapes frozen are even better than fresh, eat them while still frozen. A lot of fruits can be frozen, some are better than others flavor wise, don't thaw out, eat them frozen. It's the time of year where fresh produce should be abundant and cheaper, although it seems even farmers market prices have gone up like crazy.

If you have a sunny window, put in a planter of lettuce or other greens to grow... seeds should be on mark down now as what is left over from this years date will have to be thrown away at the stores. Can do the same with some herbs.

I've started making my own bread, several great recipes on pinterest, found one that only takes an hour from start to finish, uses honey instead of sugar and tastes wonderful. I gave up on store bought bread years ago... just walking down the bread aisle at the store made me gag! Now buying GMO free, organic flour... more expensive but worth it.

I did not know that about milk or grapes and will definitely try doing that and it is great timing - thank you. There is nothing I hate more than food spoiling, so freeze to use later is perfect. A few years ago I began growing a garden on my balcony for fresh tomatoes, green beans, onions, and potatoes. This year I grew corn too.

Scary times.
Hard to stock up when living paycheck to paycheck.
Even harder to save for emergencies.

Yes. working for uncle sam doesn't pay enough to have a savings account or emergencies like a flat tire, especially with how expensive everything has become in last couple years.
I am extremely frugal: wash and reuse ziplock bags and aluminum foil, buy in bulk when I can and break into single-serving sizes, I stopped buying fresh broccoli because it goes bad so fast, and now I get frozen so it lasts longer. I will roast a chicken breast and only 1/2 so it goes for two nights' dinners.
I never eat out ever. No candy, sweets, or nut oils. I don't drive except to grocery store or work. My 2015 car only has 50k miles - gas is too expensive.
Watch tv on antenna; cable costs too much.
