Henry's this week. :)

For those of you that have joked that I should blog my grocery list... I couldn't really because unless I have a recipe I don't make one.  However!  I do have a reciept from this morning and I will share the goods with you that I got today! :)

Gorilla munch cereal
3 bunches of bananas
red grapes
green grapes
4 so delicious coconut yogurts in vanilla and pina colada
gala apples
broccoli
nectarines
dr bronners rose bar soap
udi's gluten free white bread
dental floss
valencia oranges
pumpkin spice (for a recipe)
kiwis
beets
kale
bulk crimson raisins
tomatoes on the vine
yams
turkish apricots
mango kombucha
2 cans of coconut water
calmyrna figs
bulkwhite jasmine rice
bulk almonds
bulk cashews
a toothbrush
5 pacific natural organic almond milks
1 chocolate hemp milk
3 packs of chicken (tenders where on sale so I bought a few to freeze)
1 pack of steak

That about sums it up.  My total was 140.58.  I got produce for about a week and enough pantry items (bulk foods) to last even longer.  Everything in the cart was organic, meats where all grass fed, no antibiotics.

So much of this is just eaten in it's raw form or juiced.  :)  I got a ton of meat... happy about that.  I will try to post a few of the ways I can mix all of this up to eat so it doesn't get boring.  :)  Maybe it will help with ideas on how to eat all of this food.  I realize that the only meal I sit down for it dinner with my family.  Other than that we graze all day long.  Hand full of nuts, a kiwi, yogurt a little later.  Bowl of cereal, glass of chocolate hemp milk.  I am always full.  Dinner is usually a meat, rice and fruits and veggies like mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or brocoli and grapes.  Just depends what is around.  Hope this helps!  :)

  2. It's Rachael W. aka "frugal mommy" from my old blog (that I may or may not start again) Anywhoo, looking over your shopping list made me wonder if you've heard of Azure Standard? Here in Tulsa we have 1 Whole Foods store and an Akin's (another health food store) but their prices on most things are stupid high! I've found a majority of my healthy foods (especially certain grains and legumes, nuts, cleaning supplies- I use Biokleen- to mention a few) for TONS cheaper and they're ALL organic. Azure Standard is a food co-op based out of Washington. (hello amazing organic apples for pennies on the dollar -for me here in the mid-west at least- come apple season!) The membership is free, and you can find a local "drop site" near you I'm sure! You can request that a coordinator in your area contact you regarding "drop-offs" which happen once a month. It's amazing! AzureStandard.com. You can get raw milk cheese (if you aren't dairy-free) and tons of other stuff. It's almost overwhelming how much they have!

    Anyway, just a heads up from a fellow "real foodie" Mommy, who's diet is a mix of "real-traditional/paleo" as well.

  4. Henry's is more of a health food store. :) I think Henry's and Sprouts are the same owner.
