more cutbacks on premade frozen and preserves like soup and even some fancier bread.
Nothing from the deli.
Just stock and bulk and now I cook everything and freeze like in the isolation covid days.
I say no to restaurants.
I take my lunch to work.
As far as coffee which is medicine to me, I buy on sale and stock up....
