I don’t go to Big Lots for too many things, but I always make it in for their 20% off Friends & Family sale. It’s exactly what it sounds like… 20% off everything at Big Lots on top of their already-discounted prices! You can print the coupon here, but when I went into the store, they had plenty of coupons sitting at the register. Hurry! It ends today 7/10! There were some great cheap Paleo food items that I wanted to share with you. Here are a few things that I found during my Big Lots trip:
Let me just start by saying… I love these things! They’re crunchy and has a great texture. It satisfies your craving for potato chips and makes a great Paleo snack. No bad oils here: the only oil listed is coconut oil (not soybean or canola oil). Also, it has very plain and clear ingredients with the most questionable being “bacon flavor” listed towards the end of the ingredient list. Whether or not you follow the Paleo diet, you should try it! I ended up paying $1 per bag with the additional 20% discount. If this isn’t cheap Paleo, I don’t know what is! Quantities were extremely limited but I snagged eight bags of these. I’ll be sad when I run out because I’ll have to pay $4 per bag again so I’ll definitely savor it! Continue reading →
I made a coupon section on my blog since it’s all about being fab & frugal! But that section has all coupons and it’s hard to find the good ones! And by “good”, I’m talking about specialty coupons for gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, non-GMO, organic and other specialty diet foods. So I’ve created a Healthy Coupons section so you can weed through the junk and find healthy grocery coupons!
In one of my previous posts, I mentioned stepping outside of the box and finding healthy and awesome deals somewhere other than a supermarket. Paleo living is not cheap so getting the best prices on good quality stuff is pretty important. Yesterday’s trip to my local HomeGoods store is proof that I need to do it more often. Look at the cache of healthful, organic treasures found!
I usually shop at Thrive Market or Amazon for spices and cooking oils and such. But I was in desperate need of coconut oil and sea salt. Can’t cook without those two things! With no time to factor in for shipping, I decided to go the old school route and actually go to the store. Since today was a Monday holiday (yay!) I decided to go on a leisurely trip to HomeGoods.

I don’t eat too many Korean dishes these days but sometimes, I need something spicy and familiar. Occasionally, I’ll get a jar of kimchi from the Asian grocery store in Fort Walton, but it’s an hour away so I’m SOL if I’m not heading out that way. Now, I’m a fan of trying to replicate dishes at home, but kimchi is incredibly time consuming and difficult to make. So what’s a girl to do when she gets a hankering for kimchi? I say, improvise and make Paleo-friendly cucumber kimchi salad!
Since soy is a big no-no on the Paleo diet, I used approved ingredients like coconut aminos and Red boat fish sauce to achieve the right taste. And I must say, I was pretty impressed with the results. Continue reading →
I used to coupon all the time, stocking up on things we use a lot like mustard, chicken stock, cans of beans, pasta sauce, and gluten free pasta. I would get them all while they were Buy One Get One at my Publix, then throw coupons right on top of the BOGO to get a super great deal. I’d research carefully, print coupons, go shopping, and come home feeling like a winner! But my life has drastically changed since my Hashimoto’s diagnosis so I’ve been putting things into perspective and trying to figure out what it means to save money while purchasing high quality foods.

Since this blog is about being fab and frugal, I think it’s time to post some of the best deals I found this week! Lots of organic fruits this week, which is perfect to eat fresh now and freeze some for smoothies in the near future. Continue reading →
