I got curious last month about how low I could push my grocery bill, so I wrote down every single thing I bought at the Aldi on Route 40 in Columbia. It came to $23.40 for the week, and that covered 21 meals: eggs, rice, dried beans, a bag of onions, frozen spinach, and a big tub of oats. The bean pot on Sunday turned into four dinners, and the oat jar plus bananas handled every breakfast. My wife still thinks I fudged the coffee, so what is the one thing you refuse to cut from your cheap week?
