I would scrimp on anything else before I would scrimp on food. We did that when I was a kid and I hated it. In fact, for me, feeling rich has nothing to do with possessions such as houses and cars. Rather, it means that I can go into the grocery store and buy anything I want.

good food is one of the few things i'd go back to work for. i don't need fancy restaurants, mom never cooked so i've had my fill of that. but i do need my daily supply of fresh pistachio nuts.
i buy the best food and the best toilet paper and i bring both with me on roadtrips. the difference between a $90/night roadside motel and a $200/night hotel: the toilet paper and your own shampoo. and you can buy a lot of pistachios for $110.
also i buy the best when it comes to beds and shoes. for if you are not in one, then you are in the other.

Bulk Food, Spices, Nuts, Chocolates & Candy Online.
We now buy things like beans, sugar, etc over the internet in bulk. We have even bought organic figs 45 pounds at a time. 
Thankfully we have a good number of kitchen cabinets.

One can purchase quite a bit of Alpo for $75, so I say that it can be done, but not by me.
