Not cheap page 2

kingofturtles, If you go to the farmers market, the eggs are $3 a dozen and, around here anyway, the yolks are much more golden if they are pasture-raised.

I spend about $1k a month for 2 adults and 1 child. I'm in New York City. I order meats online and eggs/produce/veggies from the grocery.

Thx for the ideas guys. Appreciate it. I'll have to find a new breakfast I think. I eat like 4 rfa and 4 bacon every morning. Or I get hungry right away. Our organic eggs are 6$ here too..

The money I save by not buying $6 organic eggs I spend on the kerrygold grass fed butter I cook them in.

Primal can be done less expensively, we have many threads about this.

I am a big fan of bones. Cheap, and nutritious. Soup, broth. yay.

Our budget is getting massacred as well. Where you live makes a big impact. We haven't made the switch to organic/grass-fed because of the cost.

I just got a second PT job which might allow us more room soon though!

$700 for 2 adults and 2 kids who eat like adults.

Maybe $100 more than pre-primal but definitely not breaking the bank.

But we ate alot of real food before so

I'm glad you posted what you spend, since I'm in the same province (at least according to your username). We're just two adults and I think we spend about $600, but that is just a guess. When I am finished with school I'll be looking for more ways to save since I'll have more time.

That is the other thing. I think the more time one has the more money one can save. Canning, shopping for the best quality and prices, prepping kefir, mayo, yogurt, condiments, gardening, making broth, etc, etc.

Primal is not cheap.

That's why I'm only partially primal. I can get 6 free range eggs for about $1.50. I watch for organic meat and get it when on offer, but, I have a fixed pension and have to count the pennies a bit. The way I see it, I do what I can when I can, and, that is a vast improvement on what I was doing. Not perfect, but then who or what is?

I do grass fed here and there but the cuts of meat are very lean and ultimately: tough. I'm on a list to buy a half cow this fall so I will be almost totally grass fed then. So yes- I'm eating "regular" meat and eggs. I have five kids and I can't afford to buy everyone grass fed at the moment. Still, it's obviously more expensive than eating SAD garbage, especially at breakfast. I save $ by not buying soda, fruit snacks, and other absolutely empty calories. I also freeze a lot of meat that I would in the past have thrown out or given to the dogs (a single left over pork chop, for example). Also, I never eat out at lunch any more. And the stuff I used to eat on the couch at night..... Premium ice cream is what, $4? So that's $28 per week right there!
