Heyy There, Welcome to Paleo On A Budget – the home of all things Paleo + Budget related!
Around here you’ll find store deals for various stores Including Kroger, Sprouts, and Whole Foods! You’ll also find my weekly meal plan and wicked yummy recipes. Along with some really random rambling.
And I’m Liz — I’m the blogger, cook, photographer and trouble shooter for POAB. I’m pretty short, love coffee, I have really big crush on Target, pretty big obsession with my Puggle and to me saving money is the coolest thing around.
I’ve come by my love of cooking and ability to save money very honestly. My Dad is one pretty awesome cook and taught me everything I know. Of course he taught me that good cooking starts with the basics like prep work and dishes … the prep work lesson stuck {as you’ll see around the blog} but the dishes … not so much, I still hate them {sorry Dad!}.
As for saving money — my Yiayia, {Dad’s Mom} was a child of the depression era, which means I learned first hand the importance of coupons, leftovers and having some kind of surplus of the basics. Both sides of me decided to join forces when I went Paleo back in September of 2010 and realized how expensive it is! Why? Because I feel like people will tell you all the time that “Paleo isn’t expensive”
Yeah well … I’m calling bull on that right now!
If you were anything like me pre-paleo then you were spending $20-$30 a week on groceries and it mainly included bread, pasta, deli meat, eggs, maybe chicken, a few things of produce, lots of jar sauce and cereal. So to go from that weekly budget to being Paleo where it’s really easy to spend $200 a week – is a huge shock to your wallet!
And that all leads me to why I created Paleo On A Budget — way back when there wasn’t a place to come and learn how to do this on a budget or to have someone tell you it’s ok to buy store bought meat or not to buy organic if you can’t afford it.
So look around the blog, leave comments or email me directly if you have questions, and have fun! Oh and don’t forget to come say hi on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter!
Oh and before I go – you might notice that the store deals are being done by this Wicked Cool Chick named Toriee! She’s my sister and totally rad. She’s the queen of all things crime show related, she loves flip flops, and is insanely good at the game of Clue. So if when you’re poking around you want to say hi to her, or you have store-deal questions shoot her an email!
Alright – that’s it for the about page! See you around the blog!
xoxo
Liz + Toriee
