I would suggest buying groceries at Walmart. That was what I was doing for a while, then switched to Kroger. I try to keep costs between $50-$75/week for groceries. Kroger has the Kroger card, which I’m thinking of getting. They also have coupons to other places.

Speaking of which, sign up for rewards cards/accounts at your favorite stores. That will help build up points which you can then use on a rainy day if you need something.

As my dad would say, there’s no shame in thrift shopping.

Discount stores like Marshall’s, Value Village, and Dollar Tree.

Always look for sales and coupons.

Please don’t risk your safety to lower costs. Living in a safe neighborhood, imo, is worth the higher COL.
