Saving on salad

It seems that my grocery bill keeps climbing. Last week, before coupons it was nearly $200. I got it closer to $150, but I'm still looking for ways to cut back with my upcoming maternity leave. I decided to try to make my own salads. Not only does it save money, but I think it's much more fresh and healthier, too. I can sub sugar substitute, light mayo, less mayo and more vinegar, lower fat cheese, etc. Today, I made broccoli salad, thanks to my mom's recipe. 
Here it is: 

Dressing:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sugar 
2 Tablespoons vinegar
-----------
8 oz shredded cheddar
2 head broccoli
1 red onion
1/2 lb bacon
Just a guesstimate for non-dressing items, you can put in as much as looks good.
