I do go to the cheaper stores that are close by other than that any savings driving to the next city is eaten up in gas. I eat the same thing for days if I have to because dinners for one are hard to do but I can make a meatloaf and eat it all week. I am pretty fed up with it by then though. Also, it's the same with chicken. If I cook one. I have to eat it all week long. I really don't like to freeze meals because they just get forgotten and eventually thrown out. Also, I can't buy in bulk because I live in a trailer and have very little extra storage space. I did go on a tortilla a beans diet one week, and that was much cheaper, but still I ended up living on the same thing all week long. Of course my food allowance also includes everything I buy at the store besides food like paper products and over the counter meds (always generic) and medical supplies I need to apply stuff like swabs, rubber gloves etc.
