Big Savings AND What I do With That Extra $!

So, I promised to show you how to shop, so here goes.

From the local farmers market I bough about 6 days worth of produce and a couple little extras that will be great in some recipes that I will be posting over the next few days;

What's here? (from left to right);

• Almond milk
• Coconut milk
• Bok choy
• Fiji apples
• Lemons and limes
• Fennel
• Nectarines
• Apricots
• Cilantro
• Green onions
• Kale

I also popped some extra $ on free range, freshly butchered chicken (bone in and skin on, which I will remove to make chicken stock... stay tuned for how to do this as well). It is from a local farm and well raised without antibiotics or hormones!

Total cost for 5/6 days of food? $31.72!

Split day by day this equals $6.34 a day... that's probably what you spend on breakfast alone right now! I will continue to show you how to eat VERY well and on budget!

What do I do with the saving though, right? I splurge on AWESOME cheat meals!

This is an AMAZING organic smoked salmon egg Benedict from a local restaurant called Pasion SF in the sunset district of San Francisco. I ordered a half portion of potatoes and added a side of fresh strawberries, hey, just cuz it's a cheat meal doesn't mean it needs to be completely unhealthy, right? If you have never been here then you MUST check them out. Bottomless mimosas with breakfast purchase for $7! I give this place a 6 stars out of 5, seriously!
