My sister told me her family eats on $75 a week and I didn't believe her until I saw the receipt

Last Saturday my sister had us over in Rochester and I poked fun at her for clipping coupons like it was 1998. She pulled out a Kroger receipt: $74.83 for four people for seven days, and I just stood there holding my coffee. The thing that got me was she buys dried beans and a whole chicken instead of parts, then stretches the meat across three dinners. I've been buying the same food in smaller packs and paying almost double for the same meals. What's the one swap that cut your grocery bill the most?
