Budget Bytes is the perennial cheap food website/blog, and the nice thing about trying to cut your grocery budget down but not being in a crisis is that you can take the suggestions at the end of recipe for making it fancier and then just do it. Or whatever sounds good! But you’re at least starting at a base of less spendy meals rather than “go spend $40 at the farmers market to feed two people and have a bunch of weird aspirational veg leftover.”

this topic makes me think of the £10 a week lady. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jul/20/10-pound-a-week-recipes

though not sure how non-depressing those are. Also! check if your library has cookbooks, I've found that super helpful for trying recipes I'm not sure about. and then I'm not annoyed when there's only like 3 recipes I like.
