[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1740550, member: 41816"] Can I ask what you are buying? We are a mixed household, with me eating v keto (currently zero carb) and Mr B eating from low to high carb at different times. So our shopping trollies vary quite a lot over time. Nowadays I tend to think that it is possible to eat very economically when keto, but it needs a major change in thinking. Out go the chicken breasts, lamb chops and salad bags. In come the minced beef, whole chickens and proper DIY seasonal veg prep. I constantly have to curb his attempts to buy that absurdly expensive prepared veg. When Mr B joins me in ketoing, I think we make significant savings. Belly pork, higher fat content minced meats... the cheaper veg, like cabbage and fresh spinach. I make my own mayonnaise a lot of the time (much cheaper), and make all my own sauces (often onion/tomato/garlic based). I do think that it is difficult to eat good quality keto food on a very low budget. But a low-medium budget can produce a great variety of fantastic food. :) [/QUOTE]
