There are 43 slides. A lot of the tips involve apps, which I don't have, since my phone isn't set up for that.

At any rate, I have to wonder if all these tips would REALLY result, for one adult consumer, in a grocery bill that's lower than $80 per month - or even lower than $90.

(But yes, buying in bulk can be a bad idea if 20% of the food rots.)

"But Gault said you should avoid buying seasonal fruit by the bag rather
than by the pound.

For example, when apples are on sale for 99 cents a pound, a bag of the
same type of apples will usually cost more, she said."

This Gault person must shop in very strange stores. At the stores I shop
in bags of apples and oranges are cheaper per pound than buying
individual items per pound.

Easy enough to do the math. The stuff in bags is usually smaller.

The ethnic markets (and we have a lot of them) used to have much cheaper
and better produce. It's still better, but pretty much everyone (except
the truly frou-frou stores, of course) has the same price now.

Dollar stores are still significantly cheaper, but not as much as they
used to be.

Problem with fruit is that it doesn't often square with keto, which denies carbohydrates and starches.
LIke one medium apple has more than the 20 carbohydrates allotted in keto daily. But there are exceptions considered keto-friendly. Tomatoes contain around 2–3 grams of net carbs per 3.5 ounces (100 grams) — or up to 10 times fewer net carbs than
most fruit. Berries like blueberry and blackberry are okay.

Finding out about keto diets, I learn that it avoids the higher-priced non-gluten breads, etc.,
and encourages home-made bread making, probably using almond flour.
