grocery shopping

I wanted to do a post on what my grocery shopping typically looks like.  Each week I go to the superstition farmers market for discounted fruits and vegetables.  I like to buy certain things organic, so I just get the things I want organic from Trader Joe's.  I usually spend around $80-100 per week on groceries for my husband, a toddler, and me.  Yes, this is a lot, but having healthy food for my family is my number one priority.  I don't eat out, maybe once a month and I don't really buy anything extra for myself.  Come find me on instagram at healthy_withsam for daily healthy meals and workouts.

Here is a peak into my fridge from my grocery trip this week.  I actually bought enough that I won't go shopping for two weeks.  I freeze a lot of fruit and my produce usually lasts around two weeks.  It seems like way too much food for us, but we always end up eating it all.  We eat a ton of produce!  My husband bikes crazy distances every week and needs to eat a ton to refuel.  

Here is a look at what I bought at the superstition farmers market this week.  I always load up on sweet potatoes, any berries on sale, pears, tomatoes, green beens
