One thing that’s helped me a ton is shopping at local markets instead of big chains. Prices are usually way better, and you get fresher stuff too. Also, I’ve learned to check out expat FB groups, people are always sharing deals or selling good secondhand stuff for cheap. Keeps costs down without feeling like I’m missing out.
