Grocery store trip to Baron's

I have never shopped at Baron's so today I thought I would give it a try.  This is a big deal since usually with 2 small kids the LAST thing I want to do is make a grocery trip be longer by trying to find what I need.  Lucky for us... all the organic produce is in one section and the bulk bins where better than the selection at Henry's. 

So here we go!
Udi's GF muffins - @5.99 for 4 muffins I have got to say that this was a splurge but it's not often I find "safe" junk food and I had to have them.  My sister introduced me to these darn things... they are super good.  I have thought about using these for a bday party instead of cake for my kids.  YUM.

A million pop chips.  They had the small bags so I got a ton.  99 cents but perfect size for Nolan's lunch.  I also got 2 big bags for 1.99 (that is way better than Albertson's)

Gluten Free Rice Spiral Noodles

Udi's GF bread

Onto the good stuff

celery
bulk almond meal
bulk wild rice
3 bunches bananas
fennel
beets
bulk golden raisins (regular raisins gross me out.)
kale
chard
cilantro
apples
patty pan squash
oranges
cauliflower
zucchini
strawberries
bulk cocoa powder
Gluten Free Oats
citrus kombucha

Total was 91.00 even.  Darn those stupid pop chips and muffins.  I could have gotten a week of food for about 60-70 bucks this week since I still have meat at home!

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!  :)
