How to SAVE 50% on Groceries in 2024 [Pantry Restock on a Budget]
Today I am going to share how to save 50 percent on groceries in 2024. I recently found out the national average (thrifty meal plan) for a family the size on mine is TWICE what we spend per month to purchase the bulk of our food that are organic and/or very high quality. To say that I was shocked that my family was able to pull this off buying organic cheese, organic chocolate chips, and grass-fed, grain-finished American Wagyu is an understatement.
The question is, HOW am I able to make it work, and how can YOU do the same thing at home? Today I am here to show you exactly that, so come along with me as I unpack my latest Azure Standard haul and restock my pantry with high-quality ingredients.

I’ve priced it out and Azure is considerably more expensive than other options.
Although we don't eat meat in our house, I am with you 100%. I do lots of bread baking, cookie baking, cakes, rolls, pizza, etc. , make pasta, pastries, you get the idea. I calculated that if I buy flour directly from the mill, without any additives, we save in the first year about 60euro as we need to buy the storage buckets, but year two it would be saving of 260 euro! And that's just the flour! I did the calculation for most of my pantry and freezer and I am never going back to buying in supermarkets. This makes so much sense! We save 1780 euro per year buying in bulk and storing properly!
In the past 3 years, our grocery bill has doubled in cost. We pay nearly $2k per month. I stopped buying expensive meats, purchase generic as much as possible. I thought, I’ll shop at Aldi to save money, nope, their prices are similar to Walmart. I buy my groceries online so I don’t impulsively spend money on things that I don’t need. I add a bunch of things to my cart, when I’m done, I delete things I don’t need. Thank you Biden for screwing the economy up and doubling the cost of groceries.😡
So inspiring! We only buy packaged foods for special occasions, otherwise eat clean organic whole foods but still spend 1200 per month on groceries 😣 My husband eats a LOT lol. I wish we had the storage space you do but we currently live in a tiny house. I'm still planning to implement some of these tips! We did go halves on a cow with my parents so I expect that will help our budget a lot. It would be really awesome and helpful if you did a breakdown of your grocery budget. 🙂
I think my biggest hurdle is buying all the canning jars I need. Most people have bought up all the yard sale canning jars around my area. Where do I start buying canning jars. I dont know if the cheaper brands of jars are worth it.
Some stuff doesn't work great in bulk. For example nuts go rancid.
Where do you get that colander and board? Also what is your counter top?
We started homesteading after covid. It’s just the two of us. But I love it!!
Love your channel 😊quick question I just started canning. I usually freeze. I am also focused on saving on store prices . Newly retired with income cut in half. A new realization in budgeting! I live in Southern California where prices are out of control.When you made your beans ,did they cook in the pressure canner or do you still need to cook once opened? Appreciate you so much in my learning phase. I don’t want to poison my family 😅
Have you tried roasted wheat berries? Throw some cardamom and other spices, some sweetener – it has the crunch of corn nuts and that heavenly wheaty taste.
I am a single mom of one child and I stock my pantry with items I use consistently, including flour, sugar, salt, canned apple sauce and tomato sauce. I am going to can the beans! Love this idea!
Thank you for this! There are not many recent videos on how to save on healthy groceries right now. There are lots of chemical based food saving videos right now… not them overcharging us to destroy our immune systems! Lol.
Hey, I have a few questions. What's your Azure code? Also… where can I find that awesome sink strainer. Lol
I am curious if in your pricing of canning your own beans you have also factored in your canning lids? I have never canned my own beans but for a while it seemed like lids were so expensive I was using them like they were made of gold!
I want to start buying in bulk and being more conscious of what we are eating. What is a good way to transition from weekly groceries to buying in bulk. Especially if you’re already financially stretched.
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber from TX. 🌿
I have bout in bulk for many years my mom ask why do you do that 😮well I just do it saves gas time and money
Please do a quick boil or a soak overnight before canning 😑
Would love to know what bowl/strainer set you have, if you like it! Didn't see it in your "shop the kitchen" link but it looks super handy!
Hello from Germany. I am very impressed, that you canned the non pre cooked beans in a jar with water. I am water canning nearly everything but not dry beans. I love this idea. I am so tired of buying beans in tins. How long did you canned the jars with the beans and on which temperature?. ❤
we are also in a bulk buying club. But one of the things I do with the beans is not "correct" but works for us. I soak them over night in the crockpot then rinse and cook them the next day. Then I put hot beans in hot jars and put the lids on. They sorta seal themselves and I keep them in the fridge. this way they stay good for more then a month and we make them in these "small" batches.
I have that same electric canner and I've only had it for one season now and I'm only getting a 60-70% seal rate on my jars. So frustrating!
How do you store your potatoes so they don't grow eyes and spoil? I try keeping mine out of light in a cool area and they still spoil.
