A lot of attention. I almost never buy meat that's not on sale. I'm
fairly flexible in my meals, so I can plan around what I find on sale.
If I get cheap ground beef, then it's spaghetti and chili and such that
week, for instance.

The main things that I will buy regardless are produce items. I get
broccoli and bananas pretty much every week, because they don't keep. I
get carrots and mushrooms when I need them. Some things like apples
will keep pretty well, so I can get more when they're a good price.

For many staples. Again, I'll never by cereal at regular price. Most
cereal keeps nearly indefinitely (expect raisin bran). So I'll get four
boxes and stick them in the pantry. Same for canned goods.
