I just hit all the stores and buy their loss leaders. Over a period of time, you can build up a good pantry that way. When prices aren't that good, I just don't buy.

A 3lb bag of Ono was $10 or $12 at Costco this week. 10Lb bag of Chick breast $16 ect.. the most frugal thing a person can do is learn to cook!

Yes, not eating out can save you a ton of dough. I also find I can get by largely on raw foods, though -- fruits, veggies, etc. I'm just too lazy to cook that much. (Blending fresh salsa or making homemade hummus with chickpeas and garlic/lemon/peppers is also easy, as are banana/fruit smoothies.)

Don't even need basic cable for news and weather- like them on FB and they gave great threads, late breaking news, traffic updates and weather.

Hawaiian Telcom is unlimited bandwidth, unlike Comcast etc, so you can watch as much Netflix or Hulu as you want.
