Default Re: I just can't get our food bill down...

Yes, the ethnic markets around me(middle eastern, Korean, Italian) are great for all kinds of interesting things and staples too. Rice, which comes in huge bags, is really cheap.

I also buy any veggies that are marked down (ready to be thrown out,lol) judiciously clean and trim them and freeze them for soup and stir fries.

Rice and tortillas are 2 items I can think of off the top of my head.
