Cheap Keto Grocery List – the ultimate guide to shopping for the best low carb foods on a budget – with tips and a video grocery haul.
Cheap Keto Grocery List
This Cheap Keto Grocery List will help you stock your kitchen with low carb friendly foods on a budget, which I hope will be especially helpful with the rising produce costs happening around the world lately.
As you’ll see, it really doesn’t have to cost a fortune to be able to follow a low carb diet that’s made up of whole foods that are easy to find at any grocery store.
Budget Protein Options
You’ll find you’re having roughly the same daily intake of protein as usual, and these are my go to keto foods that are naturally high in protein:
- Eggs
- Stewing Meat
- Whole Chicken, Chicken Thighs, Wings or Drumsticks/Legs
- Sausages (read nutrition labels carefully for hidden carbs and added sugar)
- Ground Beef Mince
- Tuna
- Salmon
- Peanut Butter and other nut butters
- Seeds such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds or chia seeds
Cheap Keto Friendly Fats
Healthy fats make up the majority of your diet, so you’ll need a kitchen stocked with heaps of options to incorporate into keto recipes, these are mine:
- Butter
- Coconut Oil
- Avocado and Avocado Oil
- Olive Oil
- Full Fat Dairy Products – Hard Cheeses, Heavy Cream, Sour Cream, Greek Yogurt, Cream Cheese, Mascarpone & Cottage Cheese
- Coconut Milk and Coconut Cream
Fruit and Vegetables On A Budget
Pick in season fresh produce as a great way to get the best deal on items in your shopping cart. You’ll find that when fruit and vegetables are in season they are in abundance and cheaper than produce that’s out of season.
Also look out for markdowns – I was lucky on the particular visit to ALDI that I shared in the video down below and managed to find both spinach and broccoli marked down to 30% off because they were nearing their use by dates. Both of which found their way into low carb salads, soups and simply fried with eggs for breakfast.
Frozen fruit and vegetables are also a great option to stock your kitchen with keto food list items on a budget, with frozen usually being much cheaper than fresh. So, be sure to check the freezer section for keto items at a great price.
