Blogs & Websites for Cheap Paleo.
When trying save money on food it’s not only the "What" (aka actual food and recipes) but also "When" and "How" you buy and prepare it. Changing the way you eat is extremely difficult and intimidating. The planning is hard work, and the expense can knock the wind out of you. Because it is such a tough task there are several articles on this topic. Check out some of these sites.
You have to pick your battles. Some spaghetti sauce has A LOT of sugar in it, but I can’t always buy the ideal. I buy grass-fed/drug-free meats when I can, but sometimes I don’t. Same for veggies. Organic produce is nice, but sometimes I don’t care/want to spend the extra money. I’d rather put that money towards the meat, or just keep it in my pocket for the electrical bill that month. Sometimes it’s not a choice.
I still think that to be Paleo-ish is WAY better than to eat the diet I used to (and that much of America does).
I pack my lunch because:
1. It helps me avoid eating out.
2. There's not enough time to leave the office and go to lunch.
3. It saves $.
Good lunch idea: Put it on a stick! I dont know why this helps, but it does. Maybe its just more fun.
or Hard boiled eggs (ok, I admit..i can do this for a day or two and then I'm Bleh).
Lunch meat. Nuts. Grapes. Can of green beans.
I've been pretty successful with this set up at work. It includes a mini fridge. A really crappy microwave. One glass plate. One bowl. Can opener. Fork. Spoon. Coffee maker and the fixins (Praise the Lord).
What are some of your packing tips?
