Well I guess it is whatever suitably fits the bill.
I would say for instance - getting quality for cheap by buying in bulk.
Another, is to buy a whole animal, getting all the parts sliced and diced, which is always much cheaper in my experience, than individual purchases of meat. Sometimes you can group together with one or more other households and still achieve a significant saving.
And still another, is when you come across something that is cheap for overstocking reasons and not the use-by-date. And then there is promotional sales. Strike while the irons hot.
Really, it's not too hard to come up with suitable bargains. Many a place has a Farmer's Market even, where you can buy fresh in bulk, for cheap, and then freeze some of that for later.
It's not rocket science.
P.S. But if you do want to get into Rocket Science, you could make a large outlay on several freezers and have a backup power plan (i.e Generator(s), Wind Power, Solar, etc). You will eventually make your money back.
