She plots out what we're going to eat on each day of the week, and shops just for what is needed. She says it lets her plan for re-vamping leftovers and avoid spoiled food. It also avoids the "what can we have for dinner" debates because she already knows.
Even if she sneaks in a few special treats, it certainly cuts the food bill WAY down. The downside is that it takes time.
I’ve gone back to doing that, too. Again, it’s just the two of us, so you’d think this would be a lot easier - but it doesn’t seem to be!

that way, there is no temptation to take a little extra.....
