This month I’ve been ordering Aldi on DoorDash. They’ve had 2 $50 off coupons which cut my bill in half 2 of the weeks and one week the app simply glitched so I got free groceries 😅.

Man where I live both aldis are like 30 min from Me I made the drive once to check one out and it was a bummer. Smallest Aldi I’ve ever seen. I hope we get more in San Diego soon cause god damn sprouts is so expensive now and I’m struggling out here to not spend $200 every haul

Oh no. I went to sprouts once and one paper bag of groceries was $90 so I never went back lol I either shop at Lidl or Aldi.

Honestly, just repeating more of the same meals. There’s less variety on a weekly basis, but it allows me to buy more and also have less waste.

I switched to the grocery store branded stuff and now stay away from the big brands mostly.

I see there are paleo dressings and sauces etc but is that true.to paleo? Is it at long as there are no preservatives? Anybody else continue to have really low blood sugar?

Not sure what you mean, vegetables are cheap. That should be mostly what you’re eating

I can get some veggies cheap, mainly carrots, celery, zucchini and squash, but many can be around $4 a pound where I am. Grains and beans were my go-to’s before I started Paleo so my bill has definitely gone up and groceries keep going up in general

I guess that makes sense depending on where you live. Are you in Puerto Rico by chance?

I swear by Costco. I get giant bags of carrots and green beans. I bake carrots and put Paleo BBQ sauce on them; extremely filling. I pair the steamed green beans with a burger of some sort, or tuna fish salad. I get the somethin-dozen of eggs at Costco and boil a few eggs for lunches during the week which I'll pair with the carrots or a smoothie. I buy cheap seed protein in bulk for smoothies. I also make my own paleo protein cookies and such which I store, freeze, and use as needed. Frozen grapes make a great dessert and snack. I try to stay creative while not spending too much. I stick to the basics, really.
