You may have read my post on 50 Paleo foods I found at Costco for cheap. If you didn’t, then go read it, especially if you live near a Costco. If you don’t, then, maybe, you have a Sam’s Warehouse nearby. Today I found 36 Paleo food items at Sam’s. There isn’t nearly as much organic options at Sam’s, but there is some budget-friendly food options!
(Disclosure: in writing this list and my Costco list, I never expect for people’s convictions to stop at the door. If you are uncomfortable buying non-organic foods, non-free-range chickens, and non-grassfed meats, then please know that I support that decision. However, for the people who are trying to fit Paleo into their budget and make it work for their families, these foods may be their best and only option. And these unprocessed foods are far superior to frozen country-fried steaks and boxed macaroni and cheese which so many are coming off of. So, please double-check the ingredients and don’t buy anything you’re uncomfortable with. )

Here my receipt from my latest trip. I do have a few non-Paleo indulgences on there like the Veggie Sticks and Veggie Chips. And the walnut and pecan pieces were over my budget so I had the cashier put them back. I only bought the meat that was on sale because our Farmer’s Market was closed this weekend and I didn’t have a chance to shop around much for sales on more sustainable meats. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. This should last us over a week and, hopefully, into the 2nd week.
