24 Incredible Ways to Spend Less Money on Food

Check the ethnic foods aisle

If your store has an ethnic foods aisle, take some time to get acquainted with it. At my store, I find some spices, beans and canned goods are cheaper there than they are elsewhere in the store.

For that matter, if you cook a certain cuisine frequently, see if there is a dedicated ethnic market in your area where you can stock up on essentials at a lower price.
