This grocery list addresses both the budget issue and the balancing act. It is for those of you who want to stay on course with your low sugar, low carb eating lifestyle but also include some carb options for other people in your house like kids. It is geared to stay healthy and on budget but with the balance of meeting both of those needs.
It is also geared for bulk prepping for the week. Using this list you should plan to prep two different bulk salads and a bulk protein for the week so you have plenty of options to grab when your schedule gets crazy or your super hungry and don’t have time to make a meal. If you invest a little prep time at the beginning of the week your healthy eating will be easy to maintain and you will save yourself LOTS of time. Another perk of this list is that it leverages items that you can get at Costco that seem more expensive because you are buying in bulk but will actually save you money in the long run. The same exact items at a regular grocery store will typically give you at least 1/2 of the quantity for the same price. If you can afford it, get the Costco items to save money.
This list does not include spices or cooking aids such as stevia, coconut oil, vanilla extract and Italian seasonings.
