Weekly Purchases and Where I buy them:
- Medjool Dates: Trader Joe's or Earth Fare
- Almond Butter: Trader Joe's is cheap, but I like Earth Fare's better
- Unsweetened coconut: Earth Fare
- Eggs and Bacon: Kroger
- Veggies: Green, Red, and Yellow Peppers, Carrots, etc... : Kroger or Aldi's

What should ALWAYS be in your pantry, fridge, or freezer:
- Sundried Tomatoes: Trader Joe's
- Frozen Veggies (no excuses not to have veggies)
- Meat!!! I bought a grass fed cow last fall. Best investment ever. When you see meat on sale, stock up! I have enough flank steak in my freezer to feed an army.
- Eggs
- Ghee: Earth Fare
- Coconut or Almond Flour
- Coconut Oil (Trader Joe's has, you have to ask for it!)
- Seasonings (garlic, basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc...)
- Honey: Use sparingly people. (Trader Joe's)
I make A LOT of food on Sunday nights. I usually bake (Yes, bake on a cookie sheet) a pound of bacon so it is readily available throughout the week. Do not, I repeat, do not eat a full pound of bacon at one sitting! Think of it as a side dish. I add it to eggs, chicken, brussel sprouts, etc.... I also make fruit n nut bars, paleo muffins, or some type of energy muffin/bar to get me through the week. (Again, these are all still paleo.) I also cut up veggies, hard boil some eggs, brown a pound of beef, and create any marinades I might need. You can find a billion recipes online. Or I strongly recommend you use pinterest. Here is a link to my Paleo Main Dishes board.
Happy Shopping!!!
