Have you been grocery shopping yet with your Paleo list? If you only have to shop for Paleo, isn't it so nice to be able to stick to the outside of the store. Produce!!!! If you have to shop for non-paleo peeps in your home, then the grocery store is the way to go.
If you don't have to shop for non-paleo people, here is something to ponder....do you buy organic? Do you buy from local vendors? How far does your food travel? I don't want to to over think this. However, i did want to give you some options for local stuff. Mountain Springs Farm: left side on 209 towards Lehighton coming from Country Junction. They sell grass fed beef and pork, whole chickens, turkey, and eggs. Fresh organic vegetables and blueberries in season. Pure Sprouts: based out of the Lehigh Valley, this company will actually deliver fresh foods. Organic and natural products from local farms. You get to choose (almost like a farmers market) what you want. Even things like almond butter! The problem is, they need at least 10 people in your area to deliver. We have been trying to get a list together, so if your'e interested, reply and we'll try to get something going. Country Harmony: Right in front of the Giant in Lehighton. They sell natural and organic products. Please reply if you know anywhere else to get great Paleo foods! Also, if you're interested in the Pure Sprouts delivery. Keep building that confidence! It all comes down to you and the people you surround yourself with. Thats why you have us! Ryan and Kerri

Allison and I made our first trip to the gocery. I time we did a pretty good job. I thing I like the best was it didnt take long at all because I hate going shopping. We made a list before we went and stuck to that list.

Well done Dekota and Allison! It is a lot quicker because you don't have to go through the whole store! Another benefit of Paleo....less time at the grocery store!

Good job. Now If I only did shopping I could say something. I am blessed that I dont have to cook and Nikki does all the cooking.

I went Sunday and if it wasn't green or red it didn't go in my basket. I also went with the hand held basket to avoid the temptation of walking down the isles. I will say it was such a challenge sticking to the lifestyle upon returning to work.

I am financially challenged right now but still try to go as local/natural as possible.

I have been Paleo grocery shopping for 2 weeks now and LOVE it! So much faster (and less people to deal with). Question on the almond butter, is it okay to go with sunflower seed butter instead? It was way cheaper. :)

Yes!! You can! There is a great app I recommend ... It's called Nerd Fitness, Paleo Central... It's .99 but worth it!

Hi Kristen! Over the past year, I have used almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and cashew butter. All were super-yummy and all are "legal" on Paleo as long as they are natural and without any crazy added ingredients (I always look for those, no matter what the brand/food item). Sounds like you are doing great!

I personally do not like to eat much before cross training or spinning, but if I do, I go for something like 1/2 of a Larabar or a handful of nuts. If I would for some reason wake up starving, I'll make a flaxseed "mug muffin." I usually carry some almonds with me at all times, as my "go to" snack. I even keep them in my bicycle seat bag when I ride outdoors.

Merkel Farm & Nursery is a good place for seasonal organic produce in the Mahoning Valley/Lehighton area (209 Washington Rd, Mahoning Township, Lehighton, PA 18235).

Well this is going to be my very first total paleo shopping trip this weekend. I tell my son if it is not paleo approved he needs to put it on the list or I am not buying it. His response was, I don't want it if you can't eat it. Yeah, my son!! LOL

Shannon, that is so awesome that your son is excited about it too. Having support at home makes it all easier. My son is 22 but will eat whatever I bring into the house. The only non Paleo thing he asks for is soy milk & cereal. I just buy him cereal I don't like & then there is no temptation for me....lol

Could you give us some more info on Pure Sprouts? I am also one of those financially challenged people so I was just wondering do we have to have a minimum order & once you start it, is it like an automatic delivery kind of thing? And how do their prices compare to shopping at the store? Just some of the questions I thought of off the top of my head.

Would love to know more about the pure sprouts too. Sounds like something we could all benefit from. However, like some of the others, the cost of paleo to start is a bit overwhelming. I think once we have some of the oils and flours and such (which I assume will take a bit to use up) it won't be so much. Please let us know more on this or if there is a website or flyer they have that would work to. Thanks.
