Not cheap page

Primal is not cheap. 1000 a month on groceries for 2 People. 4 cartons of eggs and bacon a week doesn't help. Sure giving up grains makes me live longer. But living on the street will most likely shorten my life

Ha-ha. You're getting ripped off. We spend $95.00 per week for two. That's, what, $380.00 per month?

Wow... single gal here. $40 a week average. That's if I don't go out.

Dude. I spend 800/month to feed my family of 4. We buy nearly all our produce organic, only grassfed/pastured free-range meat, eggs direct from the farm ,raw milk. Where are you shopping at? Whole Paycheck? This is quite a bit more than when we were eating tons of boxed spaghetti, cereal, etc that I got for free couponing. . . but my priorities have changed. We spend a very low % of our income on food compared to other countries. It is sad really.

If you're asking for help, here's what we do:

Check your city for local analogues.

Canned fish are cheapest at Big Lots.
Coconut milk and purple sweet potatoes are cheapest at the Ukraine market.
Weird meats and other veggies can be had at the Pacific Market on 4th and 99 in Everett.
Avocados, frozen salmon, canned fish, and more are at the Grocery Outlet.
Meat and green apples are at Trader Joe's
Central Market has crazy good deals on duck hindquarters and lamb neck, and more.
The Sno-isle Co-op has DUCK EGGS and they are AMAZING. Worth the money!

We spend about $600/month for 4 adults, 2 of which (our kids) are not primal, but eat our food up if its there. We shop mainly at Whole Foods and the local farmers market. I'm sure if you need some money saving ideas there are people here who can help. What is costing the most? And, also, where are you geographically?

4 cartons of eggs a week for two people? wow! im currently spending maybe $150/week with what we eat.

well, i suppose any amount of money spent on groceries is better than the money i was spending eating out every day for lunch and dinner (my honey ate out for lunch too)

[cayla29s]

how are you spending that much on groceries? I would give up this lifestyle if i had to spend half of that money on myself.

We usually spend $120-$140 per week on 2 adults and 3 toddlers and that includes vitamins/protein powder/coconut oil/etc.

We buy our produce at Trader Joe's and our Meats at Whole Foods. We also try to shop farmers markets on the weekend when we can. What saves a lot of money is having 2 of the same meals in a row for dinner. All lunches, breakfasts, and snacks during the week are the same (Ex. bacon/eggs/fruit for breakfast, chicken wings/cucumber/rice for lunch, fruit/nuts for snacks).

It is a little more money than we used to spend, but not much. I think we used to spend $90-$110.

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..
