I finally went grocery shopping yesterday, and instead of buying beauty products in the makeup lane, I actually purchased….wait for it…FOOD!!
Ignore the top shelf, which is primarily the property of my BF.
Brocolli
Kale, and Arugala.
Rice chips, red pepper hummus, Smart bacon (vegan), veganaise, veggie cheese shreds, firm tofu
Pink grapefruit, massive oranges, avocados, and bananas
I only spend a little more than $58. That got me:
- Kale
- Arugula
- Romaine lettuce
- Pink Grapefrut
-Oranges (that look like they’re on steroids!)
-Bananas
- Avocados
- Cherry tomatoes
- Hummus
- Firm tofu
- Honey
-Rice chips from Rice Works-the one “chip” thing I eat with abandon.
- 1 eggplant
- Veggie cheese
- Smart bacon for my FLT’s (fake bacon, lettuce and tomato-my Saturday breakfast of choice)
- Veganaise, a vegan mayo
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Pre-diced onions, because I hate cutting the bastards.
- 2 bottles of tomato sauce
Some food were organic, and other items were not. Either way, don’t be scared of spending too much at the grocery store. It’s the pre-packaged food that generally is pricey, so as long as you are buying mostly veggies and fruits you’ll be okay.
I went to another, cheaper, grocery store after this one, where my boyfriend bought meat, some frozen blueberries for me, cleaning products, and other stuff we need at the pad. We spent more on that trip, but that’s because lots of that food was pre-packaged and purchased in bulk.
Make sure to check in tomorrow to see some of the things I made with my new groceries.
