I've been told my pic is in the dictionary beside the word cheap. I seriously cringe when I think about how much money I now spend on food. Four things help: 1. I have a friend with a decent garden and am shameless about visting her and leaving with bags of tomatos and such. 2. I make a point 2-3 times a week to pop into the grocery store that's halfway between my house and work and grabbing fruit from the "sale" rack. 3) whenever normally expensive (i.e. organic canned beans) is on sale I buy A LOT. 4) whenever any produce is on sale that can be cooked and frozen I buy A LOT.
As far as time, 99% of anything I eat is measured...but that only works if I accept the fact that I'm going to spend about 3 straight hours one day week pre-measuring stuff out and packaging it. A major pain when you're doing it but you then have the luxury of going the rest of the week just randomly grabbing whatever you want without having to give it much thought or time.
