Paleo on a budget

The most common complaint I hear when it comes to this way of eating is "paleo costs too much". While organic fruits n veggies are best along w/ grass fed beef n free range chicken, it's not mandatory. That's right, you can buy the cheap meat, if need be. Don't forget, ground turkey, chicken and pork can be found cheaper than ground beef! Get your veggies at Walmart of that is the most economical choice for your family, and for even better prices, check out the local farmers market. If eventually you get more money in your budget, you could increase your food quality. You will still lose weight and get healthier w/ the cheaper selections, so don't let it hold you back. I know back home in NY, Aldis has great low prices and I recently found that the store called "Natural Grocers" has the cheapest organic fruits n veggies, followed by trader joes.
What's important is you cut the artificial foods out of your life and get back to the basics. Even mainstream 'healthy' low-carb bars/shakes are full of crap that isn't ideal for your body. Don't know how to cook? You're in luck, you can YouTube and google 'how to's' for pretty much everything!
