Overheard a guy at the farmers market say he stopped eating beef 2 years ago and it saved him $600 a year

That got me thinking about how much of my grocery budget goes to meat, and after adding it up last night I'm wondering if cutting meat back could help both my wallet and the planet, anyone else try eating less meat for climate reasons and see real savings?

$600 a year? That's wild.

Have you looked into if your insurance company does any kind of bundle discount? I had the same shock until I realized my homeowners and car insurance were separate, and when I combined them with the same provider, my car rate dropped like $200 a year just for that. Also check your deductible - I bumped mine from $500 to $1000 and it saved me a chunk without really changing much since I rarely file claims anyway. Might be worth shopping around too, I switched to Progressive a couple years ago and it was way cheaper than what I had with State Farm lol.
