GROCERY SHOPPING!!! For a lot of people starting the journey, the first trip to the grocery store can seem overwhelming. But with a few tricks of the trade we can cut our shopping list (and bill) in half! Here's some of the shenanigans we do to cut cost on our groceries 🙌🏼

PS you know you zoomed in on our cart to see what we're eating 😉

1 We plan meals for the week that share common ingredients like eggs, chicken, ground turkey, potatoes, rice, peanut butter, etc. They way you can buy and prep in bulk, making 3 to 4 variations with the same food (for example I'll make 2lbs of ground turkey, which makes: turkey marinara, turkey tacos, turkey & rice bowl, loaded baked potatoes, etc.)

2 We use shakes for the protein source for at least 2 meals of the day. Powdered proteins are the cheapest protein per serving, and one of the most convenient meals to make.

3 While organic foods may be a healthier option, financially it can be considerably more expensive. If you are able to buy organic foods in the future, explore the option at that time. If it's available (and not insultingly priced) I'll eat organic food...but if it isn't, I've never lost sleep over it. So in the meantime, save yourself the guilt trip and know in your heart that you are already making huge strides toward your lifelong goals. And we love you for it 👊🏼❤️

4 Find coupons for your local grocery store online, and shop when they offers discounts for the week. Most of the stores around us (and around most of the nation) discount their meats on Wednesdays, so in 2 days...game on! 💪🏼

Seriously, these tips have saved us thousands in food. Hope it helps, and keep transforming!!
