I can't help but notice that the first thing some of you mention is the cost of meat. I think one of the biggest things that helps us save is just not buying meat. I don't have to worry about where my meat comes from if I don't eat it, and I don't have to worry about how much it costs if I'm not buying it. This savings enables me to spend more on local produce than other people.
Also, I am very thankful that we have an easily accessible farmer's market, nearby farmstands, and a reasonably priced hippie co-op down the street.
