Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost extra. Really! In fact, many families report SAVING money as a result of this lifestyle. GONE are the expensive boxes of name brand cereal, GONE are the pricey chips that go stale in just a few days, and GONE are the shopping carts full of junk food.
Top 10 Tips for Saving Money on DIRTY, LAZY, KETO
- YOU go to the store. You can’t blame other people for not buying DLK friendly foods or not checking the prices.
- Skip anything that says “KETO” on it. It’s probably expensive and unnecessary.
- Eat real food! Shop the outside perimeter of the grocery store. That’s where the fresh meats, vegetables, fruits, and dairy are usually located.
- Go to the store often. I go twice a week. Really! If you go on a regular schedule to buy fresh foods, you tend to buy only what you need, reducing waste.
- Buy meats in bulk when you catch a good sale — stock up your freezer!
- Buy frozen riced cauliflower instead of fresh. Much cheaper.
- Avoid buying specialty baking items at your regular grocery store, where items can be pricey (think $10.99 for a bag of almond flour! No thanks). Instead, check out discount retails (like Big Lots, TJ Maxx, or your local option) and stock up.
- If you aren’t sure when you’ll be able to use your fresh vegetables, and want to prevent immediate spoiling, stop, steam and refrigerate. This way, their life is extended.
- Buy bags of shredded cheese when they are on sale and freeze for future use.
- “Make Your Own”. If you tend to use a pricey ingredient, like Carbquik or “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning – figure out how to make your own using bulk ingredients. Recipes for both are one google search away!
