I make almost everything from scratch, have a HUGE vegie garden when I am not traveling for work, shop at an old fashioned butcher (incredible savings not to mention the health benefits!) buy a lot of things in reasonable bulk, ie; 25 pounds of flour, 10 pounds of various legumes, 10 pounds of sugar, 50 pounds of onions and potatoes. it sounds like a lot but it really isn't. pay attention to the stuff that you use a lot of and that will store, bulk buy it, store it responsibly. you always have it on hand, no last minute running to the store and so on.
the other thing I do is meal planning, even for 1 or 2 people it makes a lot of sense. you can say, plan on a roast on Sunday, sandwiches on Wednesday and a stew on Friday. Chicken on Monday, salad on Thursday, and so on
