What's in my cart?

Let me be the first to scream it loud, HEALTHY SHOPPING ON A TIGHT BUDGET IS THE STRUGGLE! I shop at a bunch of different places and it all comes down to budget. I go to Walmart when I am on a very tight budget, the supermarket (Giant) when it's a normal month, and every once in a while I am blessed with Whole Foods money.

Shopping on a budget is very difficult because there are certain foods I refuse to buy unless it is organic and that is not always an option for me. Luckily places like Walmart and Aldi are catching on so shopping has been getting better and better.

This is a normal haul for me. This food will last me 2 weeks and all I'll have to do is come back a week later for more chicken breast and maybe some more fruit. I do enjoy eating out 3-4 times per week and that is why my groceries last so long.

Sliced deli turkey
Individually wrapped chicken breast

Organic romain lettuce
Organic spinach
Organic spring mix
Frozen Broccoli
Frozen green beans
Mushrooms

I love a good smoothie in the morning so I always buy frozen fruit. Canned fruit is not the best option, but it is better than cookies and chips. I always rinse it off before eating it to get all the extra sugary juicey syrupy stuff off.
