(click on the image to enlarge, this is my actual receipt with personal stuff blocked out)
Today I went grocery shopping at walmart and got just a few items. As you know I’ve been doing a low fat high carb raw vegan challenge. This grocery haul reflects that. This will be my food for the week.
51 pounds of bananas (29 cents a pound)
14 pounds of peaches (99 cents a pound)
15 pounds of tomatoes (69 cents a pound)
a 15 pound watermelon (1.98)
In total, only cost me $32.96! Pretty cheap for one week huh. Yes I have leftover avocados from last week’s haul and I do have 3 large heads of lettuce in the fridge, however I’ll probably just eat what you see in the video.
I dare you to think of how you’d want to spend your last day on Earth. While I never believed the “DoomsDay” hype, I still thought it was even more reason to go out and enjoy life. My step son was with me for the weekend so we decided to hit up the local farmers market. We got there plenty early and walked around and chatted with all the vendors. Its so great to visit with the people who grow your food, they’re usually kind people with lots to say. Once 8am rolled around it was buy buy. We purchased bok choy, radishes, spring onions, swiss chard, mint, lots of tomatoes, eggs, & more. My step son had a wonderful time, we ate enchilladas from a local place, zipped fresh made lemonade, & enjoyed life to the best.
If local food wasn’t fun enough, we then went to the local park. We played on the slides for quiet awhile, then walked around the wildlife refuge. The swans, koi fish, and various art pieces are so beautiful, we could stare at them all day! Sadly though we were both a little tired, having not slept the best the night before. So we went home, finished off our video and called it quits. Relaxing infront of the computer, playing a game together.
Today my family and myself went grocery shopping, just an FYI this is not a vegetarian haul as I bought fish products for my step son. I hope you enjoy this video, this is what we got :
Whole Foods;
1 big bunch of beets with the greens on them
– Beet greens are fantastic for you. You can chop them up for salads, as well as juice them, steam them, or just plain eat them. Even the little guy said they’re tasty!
1 bunch carrots with the greens
– carrot greens are edible, same thing with beets, you can put them in salads, juice them, and again Cain says they’re nummy!
1lb organic romaine lettuce
1/2 lb organic green leaf lettuce
.40lbs white quinoa
organic peppermint
organic psyllium husk
organic cayenne pepper
about 50 empty vegan capsules
1 large bottle of braggs liquid aminos
big bulk bag of organic oat groats
5lb bag of organic juicing carrots
On the food part I spent $28.43 and on the nonfood it was $1.89 for a total of $30.32!
I bought lots of stuff that was on sale, as always its a great idea to buy with the sales and the season, you’ll save tons of money.
Asian Market:
2bags of green leaf lettuce
1 big bag of bean sprouts
1 napa cabbage
1 large piece of ginger
2 young Thai coconuts
5oz frozen flying fish roe
3lbs frozen whole squid
all of that was: $20.53 which was extremely cheap however we did splurge a little on the squid and fish roe. Normally I only spend 5-10$ there.
I spent a total of around $51.00
Normally my groceries aren’t that much but we enjoyed ourselves. I hope you guys enjoy. You know I’ll be showing you guys great recipes.
Have a nice guys from Cain (step son, not his real name though) & Faylina
Here is my grocery haul from today. Sorry I didn’t post the big haul from Friday like I promised some of you. I had company come over and just couldn’t film at the time. Instead here if the mini haul from whole foods. I hope you enjoy. As far as my weight, I weighed in at 252.9 this morning. We celebrated my husband’s birthday today so I of course I over ate, plus I had some alcohol, so I’ll probably gain like 2lbs tomorrow. That’s okay, definitely have to work harder at the gym.

1 bottle coarse sea salt
2 bottles dry sake
vegan sour cream (tofutti)
2 small ginger chews
1 red banana
