How To Be Paleo On The Cheap

Learn to LIVE, LOVE, BREATHE winco foods. 

• Go there once every 1-2 weeks and stock up! 
• Use a shopping list if you need to, especially if you have recipes you wanna make the next week. 
• Be strict! Only meat, fresh veggies, maybe some fruit, maybe some sweet potatoes, squash, nut butter, sugar free/crap free sauces like BBQ, hot sauce, salad dressing, salsa, coconut oil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. 
• READ EVERY LABEL. avoid all weirdness/sugar/dairy. 
• You're going to spend a lot up front, but then you're going to be VERY strict about eating from home, and prepping your food. Avoid throwing out food!
• Make this food last by eating the fresh food first, then the frozen/dried or longer lasting items. Freeze whatever you don't eat after the first couple days. 

Stock up on freezer friendly veggies and meats like cooked shrimp, ribs, steak, chicken, bacon, peas, onions, asparagus tips, brussell sprouts, butternut squash, spinach.

Don't buy bottle water, buy a filter!

Don't buy starbucks or coffee drinks, bring your own teabags and order a hot water to go!

Prep your food for the next day every single night. 

Maybe it's just your lunch, maybe breakfast and lunch if you are always running out of time in the mornings. 
​
Have healthy snacks ready to go: hard boiled eggs, cooked shrimp or chicken, berries or fruit with nut butter, chopped vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, cucumbers, hummus.

Keep healthy trail mix in your purse and/or car so you'll always have a snack around!
Buying in bulk is usually the cheapest way to go - and you can make your own mixes.
