Fitness Friday: Grocery Shopping

Healthy eating doesn't have to be expensive! I budget $100 a week ($400 a month) for groceries and I'm able to stay within my budget and even splurge on little treats sometimes. I shop at 2-3 stores to maximize savings and because there are products I love at each! First up, Trader Joe's:

This is typically where the bulk of my shopping is done, I did forget to picture yogurt jalapeno cheese, sprouted wheat bread, and eggs. I bought the dark chocolate with 80% cacao for some healthy cookies I plan on making later tonight :) I bought 28 items and spent $57.38.

Sprouts Farmer's Market is another favorite place to shop (and where I worked over the summer), and this is where I get most (if not all) of our produce. My splurge here was the Kevita, it was on sale so I bought one for my husband and I to try (my usual splurge is on kombucha). I didn't picture the items I bought in bulk because they are in obnoxious plastic bags, but I bought black beans, brown rice, wheat flour, and chia seeds in bulk. I purchased 18 items for $37.51.

The last store I went to was Von's (or Safeway), I don't usually shop here, but I couldn't find baking powder or lasagna noodles at Trader Joe's. The noodles were 50% off (I hope their good!) and the baking soda was cheap especially since it's non-GMO! :) For 2 items I only spent $3.28

My Grand Total was: $98.17
