Another tip is to try ethnic groceries. I'm married to a south asian guy and we know exactly where to get the cheapest spices, cookies, fruit, etc among our local Bangladeshi groceries. We love to visit Thai, Chinese, etc groceries too; apart from being fun, they always have amazing deals on certain items. Breakfast for dinner is a great one – I call that the “student diet”!

I can't believe I forgot about that, I used to have a day old store about 6 blocks from my house that I went to all the time, but they closed a few years ago. PS- You can take as much space as you need here! Thanks! Grey:

It is a nice change of pace! @Frugal Dad: Thanks, I just wish I could find the time to go fishing these days! I am planning on doing some w/ my 4 y.o. son in the near future though. Great post on the square foot garden by the way, you inspired me to do some container gardening this weekend if the weather holds out, I may try out your square foot plan out soon as well- I have a dog too that like to tear up things I put in the ground! @Tim: I used eat breakfast foods at night, but have recently just thought about it again.

Day old breads - either at a local bakery, or if you check a local dollar store in town, you can often find a good quality loaf for $1. At Wal-mart and grocery stores around town, I can never seem to find good bread for less than $1. Even Wal-mart's Great Value brand basic white-bread has risen to over a dollar. 2. They also keep day-old breads from the bakery at the back of the store. As a family we used to go and buy a loaf of french bread for $0.80 to go feed the ducks. Sometimes just for us to eat, too. If you have a local bakery in town, it's worth it to stop by there and check-in; the loaves are often available at a considerable discount. 3. Make your own breads, rolls, buns, muffins. I've not written out a strict cost comparison (and perhaps I should), but I can pretty much bet you that making your own loaf of bread is pennies compared to what you'll pay in the store. Especially for wheat breads and whole grain loafs. Hmm, perhaps I'll go carry on in my own space...this could get long. :P You have almost everything covered, but here’s a few more I can think of:

I especially like the catch your own dinner idea. We typically have breakfast for dinner at least once a week. Eggs are still one of the cheapest high protein foods you can eat. Thanks for mentioning my square foot garden post - it has been a very "fruitful" project. Excellent ideas! I especially like the catch your own dinner idea.
