Groceries

I recently bought groceries at Costco and Trader Joes and I thought I'd share my finds! {I recently converted from Sam's to Costco because Costco has several organic products.}

I loosely follow Weston A. Price principles, so I can't buy all of my groceries at Aldi anymore. Which means that I must spend more on good quality organic foods. I have to look at buying groceries and cooking whole foods as an investment to our overall health and well being.

Costco
{we invested in a deep freezer last year, so we're able to save by buying in bulk.}
Organic Spinach- $4.29 {1#}
Organic Apples- $6.99
Organic Frozen Broccoli $5.99
Half & Half- $3.29 {1/2 gallon for our coffee}
Shredded Mozzarella- $12.79 {5# broken up into 6 freezer bags}
Blueberries- $4.99 {22oz.}
Mini Peppers- $3.29 {2#}
5 Avocados- $5.99
Organic flax- $7.99*
Papaya- $3.29*
10#Organic Cane Sugar- $8.69
Organic Brown Rice Medley- $3.97
10# Organic Carrots- $6.99
Organic Quinoa- $9.79* {might could get it cheaper in bulk Earth Fare}


Trader Joes
{I don't usually get to shop at Trader Joe's because the closest one is in Atlanta, but it was fun!}

Steel Cut Oats- $3.29
Organic Eggs- $3.99
Trail Mix- $4.99*
EVOO- $7.99
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil- $5.99
Organic Apple Sauce- $2.29
Organic Blueberries- $2.99
Peanut Butter w/ flax seeds- $2.99*
Hummus- $3.99*
Organic O's- $2.49
Organic Celery- $2.29
Organic Bananas- $.19 each- $2.66

*things that were impulse buys and I need to do price checking to see if I got a good deal.

I'm not sure how long this will last me. I don't usually have this much fresh produce on hand because I can't stand for it to go bad. Hopefully Trinity and I can handle it. ;)

I haven't fully converted our family to grass fed/organic meat, yet, because we still have quit a bit in our freezer. I am researching local grass fed beef and organic chicken. I plan to save up over the next few months and purchase them in bulk.
