What Grocery cutbacks you've made to balance the price rise..?

Instead of cutting back anything specific it's just been more all round in our house...buy less, use less and waste less...We've had to buy less fruit, veg and snacks these past 2 weeks...

Only strawberries instead of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
Only broccoli instead of 3 green veg.
Etc etc

Using everything (ie: pea pods in soup, just cutting mouldy bits off of cheese/bread etc.) ignoring use by dates: if it smells fine, it usually is.

shopping when the yellow/orange labels come out and freezing more.

@catfunk which strawberries do you buy? The wonky ones don't taste that good anymore but we still have had to buy them for the price difference.

Bread. So much of it used to get wasted anyway, as it rarely stayed fresh enough for using it all up. Occasionally buy a French stick on the weekend, but even that is tailing off.

Cost of bread is ridiculously expensive.
