6 Tricks for Doing Keto on a Tight Budget

Avocados, eggs, meat, cheese, and nuts for 6 tricks for doing keto on a tight budget

For some people, the Keto diet can be expensive unless you know a few tricks to do Keto on a tight budget! Whether you’re gathering facts as a Keto diet beginner or have been on it a while, it's important to know some ways to keep your grocery budget low. We’ve been on the diet ourselves for almost a year and absolutely love the impact it has made on our health. What is Keto? Keto is short for ketogenic and refers to a low carb diet used to force the body into ketosis. Ketosis is just a fancy way of saying “fat-burning phase.” Most diets focus on caloric intake. In contrast, Keto is more like a fast than a traditional diet.

We wanted to know which grocery store is the cheapest, so we went out for a grocery store price comparison excursion! We live in the southeastern portion of the United States and often make trips throughout the week to our favorite grocery stores: Walmart, Aldi, and Costco.

Pink and purple sunset with shadows of three children jumping into the air in reference to How we paid off debt

This is our story of our we paid off $67,630.81 of debt in 16 months and we want to inspire YOU to get out of debt fast! During our first year of marriage, we lived the way that you would expect newlyweds in their 20s to live.  We traveled a bit, decorated our little house, got a dog, and went on a lot of dates. In short, we were livin’ it up! Yet while we were enjoying life and spending money, we had almost $68K in combined debt. Our debt consisted mostly of student loans and two smaller car loans. We found our monthly bills to be affordable because we jumped on board the income-based student loan repayment plan that lowered how much we would have to pay each month. Score, right?! Additionally, I worked in social services and was banking on the government forgiving my ... [Read More]

This cheap & easy Doritos Nacho Bake will keep the whole crew happy and you won't break a sweat! This is a nostalgic family favorite in our household and we're excited to share it with you! As a kid, I always looked forward to Friday nights.  That was our family night, which usually meant a movie and something extra tasty for dinner. You know, something that didn’t involve boiled vegetables or mashed potatoes. As a rule throughout the week, our dinners were a little more run-of-the-mill.  For example, we ate a lot of simple meat and vegetable dishes – chicken and green beans or meatloaf and peas. It’s not that the meals were bad, per se. They just weren’t the kind of dishes that we got excited about.   But on Fridays, after a long week at school, we ... [Read More]
