   10 Tips To Save Money While Goin' Paleo

Paleo On a Budget
The truth is that the Paleo Diet does require spending more money at the grocery store than most people prefer to spend. I personally don't have a problem spending a few extra bucks knowing I am fueling my body with "premium" fuel, however this is something that most people will have to learn to overcome.
 
That being said, you don't have to be rich to follow the Paleo Diet and when done correctly, the Paleo Diet can even save you money!

Here are 10 Easy Tips for Eating Paleo on a Budget

Paleo Budgeting Tip #1 Skip The Organic

Organic produce is always the best choice, but when on a tight budget it is not a necessity. Think about it; it is better to eat a “regular” cucumber than it is to eat “organic” whole wheat bread. Check out this list of foods that contain the most pesicides so you know when to go organic!

Paleo Budgeting Tip #2 Stock up on Omega 3 Eggs

Eggs are a great source of high quality protein, and when organic will also provide a good balance of healthy fats to help nutrient absorption. Eggs are cheap and extremely versatile. Hard boiled eggs are a great addition to a salad or great by themselves for a quick snack.

Paleo Budgeting Tip #3 Be Sustainable

Eating Paleo is also being responsible. Having a garden in your backyard is something that can save you a lot of money as well as provide the satisfaction of knowing you can grow your own food. Watching the plants grow is fun and can be done throughout the year depending on the plant.

Paleo Budgeting Tip #4 Eat Fatty, Satiating Foods

Paleo foods like eggs, steak, avocados, and other healthy fats are going to provide many calories while also keeping your full until your next meal. Don’t be afraid to add a little uncured bacon to your breakfast if it means not craving a snack two hours later.

Paleo Budgeting Tip #5 Farmers Market!

Buying produce that is in season is always going to be a good idea when eating Paleo on a budget. Not only will this save you money, but this is also more responsible. This saves energy by reducing transportation and also supports your local community.

Paleo Budgeting Tip #6 Hit the Freezer Section

Fresh produce and berries are great, but when on a budget frozen is often the best way to go. Pick and choose which veggies are best fresh, and which ones you can enjoy frozen. Asparagus tends to be better fresh, while stir fry vegetables are great frozen.

Tip #7 Buy in Bulk

This is pretty obvious, but buying in bulk allows you to bypass the marketing fees associated with many products. Products like seeds, dried fruit, nuts, and even nut butters can be found in bulk at a much more affordable price and can be combined to make custom blends. Freshly ground almond butter is always best from the bulk department.

Tip #8 Stock Up

Having additional freezer space allows you to stock up on Paleo foods when you can find them on sale. This reduces week-to-week shopping at full price and having the Paleo foods on hand makes cooking much easier.

Tip #9 Plan Your Meals

Planning your Paleo meals ahead of time prevents any wated food. Spending $50 at the store and finding half of the food spoiled 2 weeks later in the fridge is never good. Planning your meals allows you to know exactly what you will need to prevent wasting food and naturally wasting money.

Tip #10 Learn to Use Your Leftovers!

Rather than throwing out a few extra veggies that you didn't eat with dinner, put them away in the fridge for a future meal. Leftover veggies are great in an omelette and there is so much you can do with leftover chicken!
