Ep 224: How to actually save money on groceries in 2025


Listen Later

Groceries in 2025? Whew. Let’s just say…it ain’t pretty. Prices are still climbing, shrinkflation is in full effect, and Americans are still wasting almost 40% of the food we buy. Add tariffs and supply chain pressures on top, and it feels like we’re paying more, getting less, and throwing too much of it away.

The good news is you don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle. In this episode, we’re breaking down 4 real-world strategies to fight back against rising grocery bills without sacrificing flavor or convenience.

We’ll get into:

  • Why shrinkflation is more than just smaller chip bags, and how bulk shopping gives you the upper hand
  • The underrated art of “eating what you already have” (a.k.a. not letting random leftovers boss you around)
  • When to splurge where it matters and save where it doesn’t 
  • Restaurant and takeout hacks that let you enjoy the vibe without paying full price

If food is one of the top three line items blowing up your budget, this episode will help you take back control and maybe even have some fun with it.
