Challenges about Budgeting and Grocery Shopping

Budgeting and grocery shopping is one of the best ways to trim down your monthly expenses and daily spending- but there are dozens of challenges out there- especially the advice that is ultimately unrealistic. Here is a list of budgeting and grocery shopping challenges and how you can make them realistic strategies to save on grocery shopping!

However, while I am unsure if this is because I am tired or lazy all the time or because I am and twenty-year old housewife unsure about what I want for lunch. I often find myself pacing in the kitchen, checking cabinet after cabinet, fridge to freezer and then back to the cabinets trying to find out what exactly is it that I want to eat?

Well, I soon figured out a way to ensure that I ate correctly and at the right time in the day, so that I wouldn't get sick and this Veggie Bake Combo seems to do the trick every day. Almost always, I eat mushrooms and squash with my salmon, tuna or shrimp, drizzles with a bit of oil or butter and sprinkled with seasonings.



What you’ll need:
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Veggies:
    • Zucchini
    • Mushrooms
    • Yellow Squash

  • Up to 10 pieces of shrimp

  • Salt, Pepper and other seasoning
  • Lemon zest or juice
  • Olive Oil (if necessary)

Directions:
  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
  • Place Foil on the baking sheet
  • Spread across the fresh or frozen shrimp- I got mine frozen in a bag at Costco for about $18 and it lasts almost 2 months! Set baking sheet with shrimp aside.
  • Slice veggies into thin slices or small triangles pieces. Put the veggies on the baking sheet too.
  • Cut a small one inch slice of butter and melt in a small pan.
  • Add seasoning and lemon juice or zest to the pan.
  • Salt and Pepper the food on the baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the melted butter all over the veggies and shrimp.

In a later post, I will explain how I manage to do this Keto Lifestyle without breaking my budget- but as of right now, it is beyond my belief that I ever manage to stay in budget for my groceries and still eat right for my body!
