Only Buy These 20 Groceries Every Week — STOP Wasting Money

What should you really buy every week if it's just one or two of you? A former grocery fresh-foods manager shares the only 20 groceries worth putting in the cart every week — cheap per meal, useful three ways, and still good on day seven — and the everyday buys that quietly waste money on a fixed income. Onions, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples and citrus that keep; eggs, chicken thighs, canned fish, beans and lentils; milk, block cheese and plain yogurt; oats, rice, pasta, canned tomatoes and peanut butter — plus the cheapest item on the list that replaces bagged salad. How long each one really lasts in your fridge or cupboard, and one simple habit before your next shop.
