Meal Prep Monday: My Favorite Grocery Shopping 21 Day Fix Food Picks

A little late but better late than never!  I get asked a LOT about my meal prep, what I buy, what I always have on hand, etc.  So here it is. These are items I typically shop for and have on hand in the fridge. I try an shop no more than twice a month and sometimes it's only once. I buy enough to last and have an extra fridge in the garage along with a pretty big pantry :). I only go to certain places to shop and I do it as cost effectively as possible. Most of my groceries come from Costco, a local produce market and believe it or not....the 99 cent store! If you have any questions, feel free to ask away! Here's a handy little form you can use to plan out your weekly menu and snacks and add the items to your list below. It's one of the tools I share in my 21 Day Fix Boot Camps and helps with meal planning for 21 Day Fix too! I typically plan my lunches to be leftovers from dinners the night before. Cuts my meal prep in half and saves me $$$ too!
