Grocery Haul of the Week (05/11 - 05/17)

Aloha readers! 

It's been a little while since I've showed you guys my grocery trips; I had intentions of doing a grocery haul video, but it was almost 10PM when I got home last night and I was exhausted! 

So instead, I shot a simple photo of the things I got. 

I'm starting work in a few days, so I made sure to buy things that could be used in my snacks and as part of my main meals - so I can take it to work and cook it at home! 

So from the haul, I got: 

- Eggs and Smoked salmon (for my breakfast) 

- Bananas (pre workout snack + smoothies) 

- Yogurt (post-workout snack + smoothies) 

- Granola bars (snacks) 

- Turkey sausage sticks (some protein for my snacks) 

- Broccoli, Cauliflower, Mushroom (stir frys) 

- Raw Shrimp (Pan fried in lemon garlic sauce - yum yum!) 

Going grocery shopping is important to me because it allows me to buy the nutritious foods I need to help fuel my growing and changing body. Throughout my journey, I've 

learned many tips and guidelines about how to "shop smart" and "smart healthy". 

           

If you're curious or interested about learning how to eat healthier, or "eat clean", here's some sample grocery lists for you! 

                

 

Cheers!

Save Money While Grocery Shopping! (02/20)

The boyfriend came and took me to grab a sandwich at a coffee shop (delicious by the way), and then he took me grocery shopping.

What I love about grocery shopping

• The thought of having complete control over what I put into my cart/ my stomach makes me feel strong and independent. 
• Being able to put the knowledge I have to use makes me feel useful! 
• Saving money!!! Even though buying groceries cost money, it saves you money in terms of discounts, savings, and not eating out! 

My super-saver-bargin-coupon digging side kicked in last night when I was putting my grocery list together, and I made sure I looked through several different grocery store flyers for the best deals. 

Today, I chose superstore. Their produce was significantly cheaper than it's competitors, not to mention that I also have their Mastercard and Points card, which means that I get points for shopping there (which equals free groceries in the future, for those of you who don't know!) 

My Grocery Haul of the Day 

All for under $50! 

Everything here will last me over a week, maybe week and a half or more. I've got some regular fruit yogurt and greek yogurt, organic frozen fruits for smoothies, fresh vegetables, and some meat :) 

What I felt the best about when leaving the store is not only did I save money on my groceries, but it also contributed to this: 

Which means free groceries next week! And to take that another step further, I recently discovered a website called SnapSaves. What you do is look at the weekly offers, decide if you need to purchase those things, and scan+send the receipt to them after shopping - and you get money back for it! Sign up today so you can start saving too! 

This makes me look forward to the next grocery trip in a couple weeks! 

Happy Hump Day everyone! 

Cheers!
