I agree on the food front. Fresh fruits and vegetables tend to be far more expensive that the junk food at the grocery, but we spend quite a bit on them because we feel it is far healthier to eat them. My dh planted a small garden this summer for tomatoes, onions, green beans, and herbs and have felt like we have the life of luxury.
As for kitchen stuff, I'm often guilty of buying stuff. My best find was a pot with a lid for $3 at an antique/flea market. I use it for so many things and feel I got quite a bargain.
