Boomers are far more likely than any other group to be aware of price increases. When prices go up, they cut back on non-essential items and avoid impulse buys, with just 53% succumbing to them.

He says he paid roughly $5 to his distributor to get the pack of Honey Bunches of Oats onto the shelf. But his much larger rivals, the big US supermarket chains, can sell that same box for around $5 - essentially, the price he has to pay wholesale. That dynamic makes it "impossible for us to compete."

Albertsons is nursing a 'merger hangover' after the Federal Trade Commission blocked a $24.6 billion marriage to Kroger, leading to store closures across the country.

With the cost of living soaring, Ron Robinson is determined to save wherever he can starting with his grocery bill. It's why the Montreal man shops at Liquidation Marie, an ultra discount grocery chain where prices can be as much as 50 per cent less than a regular grocery store. He recalls purchasing steaks for about six dollars each. "If you go to a big box store, you're going to pay maybe $20, $25 for a pack of three," Robinson told Cost of Living.

Making homemade stock isn't just a sustainable exercise in zero-waste cooking; it's also (basically) free. By stashing stray vegetable odds and ends in a resealable gallon bag in the freezer, when stock o'clock strikes, home cooks will already have everything they need on hand. From onion scraps to bits of shallots, celery, carrots, leeks, mushrooms, herb stems, and even peels and roots, you can toss it all in the bag, and (later) into the stock pot.

To prepare, I spent a lot of time meal planning, before combing through Aldi's website to compile my shopping list and get a price ballpark for everything.

Still, these meals are pretty limited when based purely on the serving size on the nutrition label.

The economy is tough, so many of us are looking to save money on grocery bills wherever possible - especially since we're paying significantly more on select grocery staples than a few years ago. Our shopping habits are changing, adapting to the greater need for budgeting, and grocery stores are recognizing the requirement for affordable products. Kroger, the oldest grocery chain in the U.S., is meeting this need by offering marked down perishable products that are nearing their best-by or sell-by date.

I'm a professional couponer who shares tips with my millions of followers on social media. I have a long couponing history. Both of my parents got laid off during the recession and had two teenage daughters. They needed to figure out how to make ends meet quickly, so my mom took a community college class and learned the basics of couponing.

January is a perfect time to reform eating habits or just to try out new things. This month, Target has a bevy of new products for some of the hottest food trends going right now. It's no secret that Target has been increasing its focus on grocery items as a core part of its business, and that has meant a growing number of partnerships and trendy brands showing up on shelves.
