19. Here's what we do.

I work at using/eating all that we buy esp produce. Buy produce in season.
even with egg prices up they are still a good buy for the nutrition.
We truly are eating less (we are older)
water, coffee are our drinks,,,,
I have though taken a liking to Bubly sparkling water 1 can at lunch. zero soda, zero alcohol.
I have nearly quit bread my Husband has been eating openfaced sandwiches.
buy bread & meat on sale, freeze half loaves of bread, and package meat by the meal. Label with contents & date.
Keep an ongoing freezer inventory including location within the freezer.
Keep a bags of veggie trimmings & leftover veggies in the freezer,,,, the trimmings are for broth and the veggies are for the soup.

There's lots of info on the internet about this kind of stuff.
