I try to only shop at Costco in bulk. I do go get some stuff like sugar free maple syrup, canned mackerel and sardines at the dollar store.
How much are you all eating on and off cycle? Whats your macros?

Individual and goal dependant, as many others have said.
When I was competing, offseason weight was arou d 275. I was pushing close to 900g carbs daily. Protein around 1g/lb body weight. Always only counted protein sources with proper ratios/balance, so mostly animal proteins. This means that the 30g protein from my 255g raw weight pasta would not count towards my daily total. So total protein would have been more.
Nowadays, goals are more health and fitness oriented. I eat somewhat more intuitively and really only count protein and calories. Still only count protein from animal sources. I now only really aim for 0.7-0.9g/lb. If I get more, great. But if I only get 200g protein at 240, I feel fine and recover fine.
Calories are dependant on activity level. Am I doing a ton of cardio? Am I doing a bunch of other activities outside of training? Etc. Rule of thumb for me right now, on average, is about 20 calories per lb of body weight to maintain at 240. Average maintenance for me right now is around 4600-5000 calories daily. I have days where I eat the majority from carbs (COR, Rice, Pasta, Sweet potatoes) and I have days where I will get more from fats (fatty meats, evoo, coconut oil, whole milk/dairy products, etc).
Never been a fan of fruits and vegetables. But you should eat them - doctor's orders

Cutting right now I eat about 1500-2200kcal daily at 251lbs I do about 15km of cardio and lift every second day near full body splits but I neglect my legs because they're finally in a place I'm okay with them and the rest of my body is just beginning to catch up.
Macros are like 220g of protein, ideally under 100g of carbs but that's not happening every day sometimes i hit 200+ if it's a day with a cheat meal.
I'm tired boss but the tren keeps giving me energy.
