If we haven't met yet...

We’re CJ and Shelley Hitz—and like many of you, we had one of those “How are groceries this expensive?!” moments.

In 2024, inflation hit hard. Then we got a surprise bill: our condo needed a new roof, and we had to cover a portion of the cost—thousands of dollars we weren’t planning on spending.


We needed to rein in our grocery budget, fast. But we also didn’t want to sacrifice the quality of our meals or spend hours clipping coupons.

So we got to work—researching, experimenting, and trying new things. And over time, we found simple, sustainable ways to save $250/month… without giving up the meals we love.

Now we’re sharing what we’ve learned—so you can spend smarter, stretch what you already have, and feel confident every time you shop.

Take the first peaceful step toward saving—without sacrificing your sanity or your meals.
