Plane Food!
Eco + Conscious Living, lifestyle
Every time I travel people ask me: Can you really take that on a plane?! Well, I’ve never had anything taken away at security, so yes! The picture above was…
I’m loving sharing our grocery hauls with you! Food shopping can be overwhelming, and can take much more of our money than we’d like but there are ways to shop that let us get the most from what we have to spend, or to get our spending down. Whatever your grocery shopping goals are, my goal is to help you get there; to help you feed yourself and your family the way you want with what you have to spend.
I’m going to do a series of posts about how we shop to keep our budget low so I’m starting with the things I do before I shop (usually with a baby in my arms while we sip the coffee Jared left as he ran out the door to work!)
This week I went to two local stores and spent a total of $90. I tend to only go once in the week but later on in the week Jared bought chips to take to a friend’s to watch a game, and some extra eggs for us so we landed at pretty much $100 for the week after everything.
Trader Joes:Cage free large eggs x2 – $5.98 Avocados x2 – $2.98 Plain organic yogurt – $3.29 Organic sugar plum tomatoes – $3.49 Raw milk cheddar cheese – $4.13 Organic ground beef – $7.49 Whole organic carrots x3 – $2.37 Organic chicken thighs – $8.67 Bananas – $2.49 Spaghetti squash – $2.49
Total: $42.98 |
Orchard Nutrition Center:Bulk goods: Active dry yeast – $5 Rolled oats* – $1.89 Sunflower seeds* – $5.83 Raw honey – $4.18 Organic sprouted spelt flour x2* – $12.18 Coconut Aminos* – $5.69 Gala apples* – $1.67 Broccoli – $1.02 Kobocha squash – $2.93 Cilantro – $1.05 Cauliflower – $3.49 Green leaf lettuce – $1.39 |
* I use my oats for oatmeal, oat cookies and oat milk.
* The raw sunflower seeds i will roast, and use to make sunflower butter and dressings
* Sprouted simply means that it is easier to digest – spelt flour contains a little gluten, but we are all good with that. I use this for bread and pizza bases.
* Always compare prices per pound!
* Coconut aminos are a tasty, soy free paleo friendly alternative to soy sauce.
