Hi guys!
I went grocery shopping again. Big surprise, I know! ;) But I wanted to share my list because I think I got lots of good stuff. I actually was thinking of a few dinners in advance as well as lunch makings for both myself and the hubby - always makes shopping easier.
Also, something else I wanted to let you guys know is that my husband does not eat 100% vegan. In all my grocery lists I've eliminated the non-vegan items because they do not apply to me, but I thought it actually may be helpful if I included those food items. A large majority of his meals are vegan, but there are nights where say we have burgers, he'll have a turkey burger and I'll have a veggie burger - that sort of thing!
He stuck to a plant-based diet for 2 years, but then made the choice to incorporate some meats back into his diet. I probably should have shared this much earlier, but didn't really think much of it because the majority of the food in our house is vegan. And again, I was just focusing on my eating, but grocery shopping is for the family so here I go...

On my list below I indicated the non-vegan items that were bought. When looking over my list now, I guess it looks incomplete, but several food items we already had in the house. For example, I didn't need to buy any beans this week and I already had sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground flax, raisins, and shredded coconut...to name a few.

Tomorrow I'll post about a typical food day since I haven't done that in a while.
Any grocery shopping questions? Let me know!
Did you grocery shop this weekend?
What a fun post. I always love getting a look inside others' lives.. is that creepy? Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I bought some Kabocha squash, sqaghetti squash, hummus, fruit/vegetables, variety of leafy greens, and much more :)
My boyfriend doesn't eat vegetarian, but 99% of the time, if he wants meat he has to cook it -- so he rarely eats meat at home :) I also have a rule about no bacon in the house, the smell just sticks to everything and I feel like I'm breathing in pork for days. Not a fan of second hand meat hah. But don't feel like you need to disclose that 100% of the food in your home isn't vegan. If anyone cares that you don't force your husband to be vegan, then they're some crazies!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to tomorrow's post. I love "typical food days!" :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love the layout :) I am starting to meal plan next week (never tried it before) and I think it's going to make my grocery shopping MUCH easier and more efficient!
ReplyDeleteSo, do you find that your grocery bill has increased since going vegan?
