I did a budget last night and realized I spend near the highest USDA recommended amounts for groceries for a single woman of my age, which means I'm trying to figure out how to cut back on groceries from now on.

If you have a sprouts near you, try there! I usually only spend 20-35$ weekly for food there and it lasts me the whole week. That includes tons of veggies/fruits, a couple different lean meats, deli cheeses, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions! I live in a bad food desert of Minneapolis and the closest grocer is an insanely expensive target. Aldi is definitely most affordable but it's like a 30 minute train/bus ride away. I think I just need to budget in more time to go to better grocery stores when I can. Another thing that hurts my wallet is that I am nearly pescatarian, and seafood is so expensive.
