Some good grocery items...

I wanted to share a few things I have found that I like. First of all, you need to know that I am frugal. I also like food that is easy to make and that my whole family can eat. I try and focus on high protein and healthy carbs. That being said, I love to shop at Aldi. I love Aldi's Fit & Active brand foods!

Here are some of my favorite foods from Aldi:

Fit & Active Multi Grain Wraps - these are my latest find at Aldi. They are pretty large and square (instead of round). They can be found near the blocks of cheese. Price: $1.99 for 6 wraps. Each wrap has 100 cal, 9gm protein, 17gm carbs, 8gm fiber. I love how these taste and the texture is good. I haven't had any trouble with getting them "stuck".

Fit & Active Nonfat Yogurt - available in 4 flavors: Key Lime Pie, Peach, Strawberry, and Cherries Jubilee. Price: 37 cents for 6oz. Here's the nutrit info on the Key Lime Pie flavor: 90 cal, 6 protein, 15 carbs, 0 fiber, 0 fat.

Fit & Active Whole Wheat Penne - I only eat about 1/2 serving of this at a time. What I like is that I can serve it to my whole family. Price: 99 cents for 12 oz. Nutrit info: 210 cal, 7gm protein, 41gm carbs, 5gm fiber, 1.5gm fat.

Here's some other good stuff I've found at other grocery stores:

Kroger CarbMaster yogurt - I can't remember how much these cost but I really like them. I don't get to Kroger very often, but when I go I always get a bunch of these. Here's the nutritional info on the raspberry flavor: 80 cal, 12gm protein, 4gm carbs, 1gm fiber.

While on the topic of yogurt, I LOVE Chobani Greek yogurt. It is too pricey for me to get all the time but I do get it as a treat for myself if it's on sale.

Hormel Compleats Roast Beef & Gravy - these are a great food to have on hand just in case life gets too busy to make something else. I can't remember the cost of these but I have found them on sale and they often run coupons on these too. When I have good restriction, I am able to make 2 meals from 1 container of these but the nutritional info is based on eating the whole thing. Here is the nutritional info: 230 cal, 23gm protein, 27gm carbs, 3gm fiber, 3gm fat.

Kashi GoLean Hot Cereal Creamy Truly Vanilla - each packet has 150 cal, 9gm protein, 25gm carbs, 7gm fiber, 2gm fat.

I hope this helps you on your journey!
