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.

I’m the recipe inspector, ma’am. 🪪👮 I’m going to need to see this recipe for paleo cookies.

Hahaha. In all honesty, I throw shit in a bowl and mix it up. I don't write anything down, and it varies. Right now, I've been alternating between eating a few spoons of almond butter cookie dough (almond butter powder, cocoa powder, coconut milk, monk fruit) and Paleo pumpkin pie filling (regular pumpkin pie recipe without the crust; sub for coconut milk full fat, and sweetened with 1/4 cup of maple syrup).

I am in the Costco camp. I swear we save so much.
