My grocery budget is being stretched thin so I thought I’d update my last Affordable Food Finds article, add Grocery Outlet and some tips and trick to the mix:

Affordable and Specialty Whole Foods Finds 2024

  • Fresh organic greens: All varieties of kale, chard, and collards ($1.99–2.99 a bundle)
  • Seasonal, local, organic fruits and vegetables
  • Essential oils
  • Herbal remedies and tinctures
  • Shelf-stable — plant-based “milks” (they give you a discount if you buy it by the case — Mom secret)
  • Prepared meals — hearty portions for $8–12 (I also browse for inspiration)
  • The evil of all evils — brown butter chocolate chip cookies, chocolate mousse cups, and of course that sinful Chantilly cake (from Whole Foods bakery)
