Paleo on the Cheap



A lot of friends have told me that they'd go Paleo but can't afford it. So here's a typical weekly shopping cart for me. Typically it costs around $40.

Eggland vegetarian-fed Eggs- $4.89 for 18 (scramble in pan in butter)

Jennie's Lean Ground Turkey- $4.89 (use for turkey burgers or chili)

Wild Caught salmon filet- $5 (wrap in tinfoil and put in the oven in butter for 30 min)

Grass-fed hamburger meat or steak- $6.99

Organic vegetarian-fed chicken drumsticks- $3

Tuna in cans- 2/$3

2 avocados- $3

2 tomatoes

scalllions

organic spinach- $2.99

blackberries or blueberries- $2.99

2 apples or pears- $2-3

Kerrygold grass-fed butter- $5

Coconut milk (I don't buy this often, but it's good in protein shakes)- $2.99

From time to time I get Chioban yogurts 2/$3 or 4% cottage cheese

Unsalted Pistachios or almonds- $4.99

I'll sometimes get some red wine or whiskey (Bushmill's is cheap and good) too- $10-12

Between meals I'll typically have a protein shake from Muscle Milk which I'll get once a month at the gym or GNC for about $20.

Typically I shop at Ralph's, Trader Joe's or Vons. Sprouts is good too.

Cheers-
