well I recently started adding beans to a lot of our main dishes, and using way less meat. Groceries is something I won't compromise,because if I try to go for cheaper, then I compromise our health. We chose not to turn on our 30 yo central air unit & we have 2 window units that we turn on at night when needed to sleep. But we always have them on energy save and keep the temp @75...well I do , my dh however turns it to 70 often
