Asfood prices surge, usual strategies like clipping coupons can stretch your dollars.
But you might take your savings to another level if youre open to whats known as salvage food.
Not all those rejects end up in landfills.
Some turn up on supermarket clearance racks and at salvage grocery stores.
Many smaller salvage grocers operate around the country.
Sites such as Imperfect Foods, Misfits Market and Hungry Harvest offer home delivery of salvage foods.
(Misfits Market acquired Imperfect Foods in late 2022 but operates it as a separate brand.)

All the food was high-quality, but prices were close to those of Whole Foods.
Tip:Check for deals at grocery stores near you through theFlashfood app.
The selection may be more limited than those of the delivery services, but the savings are worth it.
