What We Bought and What We Ate, September 8th – 21st

We are back to full-time schooling and our extra curricular activities all resumed, so the last two weeks have been crazy!

I did a lot of shopping, as you’ll soon see.  Part of the expense these two weeks is that I did a big freezer cooking session using My FreezEasy, which I loved!  (Review coming soon!)  Another part is that we bought 100 lbs. of fruit in bulk.  (We’ll turn a lot of it into applesauce.)  Finally, the foods I can eat right now are very limited and specific, so I spent more than I usually do.

Sprout’s Trip #2 – $86.44

Sprout’s Trip #3 – $9.67

Sprout’s Trip #4 – $10.70

U.S. Wellness Meats – 88.76

U.S. Wellness Meats is my go to place to get healthy meats, especially as I try to recover from my histamine intolerance and leaky gut.
