Sample Strategies You'll Learn

The Store Tier Hierarchy

Understanding grocery store tiers (discount vs. premium) and why shopping at a luxury store for staples is your biggest hidden leak.

Unit Price Mastery

How to ignore the big font on price tags and find the true cost per ounce to compare brands—often saving 30-50% on identical products.

Rotisserie Multiplication

Turning a $5 rotisserie chicken into 8-10 meals through strategic deconstruction, stock-making, and creative repurposing.
