Save Money Eating Healthy

Yes, I said save money eating healthy! I saved almost $100.00 on my grocery bill last month! My grocery bill also includes consumable items like toothpaste, paper towels, and pet supplies, which I do use coupons for if applicable. I'm not a crazy coupon lady, just one coupon for one item. There's only two of us in the house, but we've stuck to a planned diet and have seen a positive outcome in weight and our budget! So what did we do and what have we been eating?

The first thing we did was go to Sam's Club and bought the following.

Sam's Club List 

Granola Bars: 60 Ct.

Tilapia

Mixed Vegetables

Green Tea Bottles

Almonds

Tuna: 20 cans

Canned Chicken Breast:5 cans

It's been a month and we still haven't gotten through all of these items. We still have left overs of all the above items except the green tea. We should be able to make the rest of what we have last through February. 

So,what do we get from the grocery store?  For the past month the below items have been regulars on my shopping trips.

Grocery List 

Thin cut chicken breast: Buy the 4 lb packages and bag portions before freezing. 

Steak: Be smart about your steak, you can find really good deals. We've been eating steak as our Sunday Meals.
