The price of eating basic foods

Going in to week three of eating my paleo diet, I’ve started to become tired of the price of wanting to eat clean food. My food budget for this week was $30 so far I’ve spent $45 and my meat and eggs that I stocked up on Saturday are running low. As I didn’t have anything for my evening meal I had some eggs, so now I’m short on eggs for breakfast. My lunch today was revolting, cucumber and lettuce, cheap lettuce and cucumber which was overripe and full of seeds. Did not enjoy when I got home I googled meal ideas for paleo diet and meal ideas for primal eating and it even turned out Tue cashew nuts were out of the picture.
I love cashew nuts!
So my mind is giving me sticking points what to do for food, tomatoes and peppers mushrooms and greens. Then what about dressimg, trying to keep thus simple but like I’ve said previously this meal choice on eating just meat and veg , is difficult especialy on a budget.
I have stewing steak , but what do I stew it with, potatoes are out of the picture, and what about stock can’t just to boiled steak and some veg, this is not going to do it taste wise.

Think what I’m really missing is some differnt tastes, meat and veg can get a little bland. With this being said though I still have to give credit for the clarity of thought that I’ve had over the last few weeks, just wish I could turn that in to somthing positive. A small bag of fruit and veg costs allot of money for just a few days worth of food.
I’ve got kiwis to eat , so at least I’ve figured breakfast. But now I’ve got to eat unripe fruit, because that is all there is to choose from. I guess most foods are out of season. In the UK so you get what you can, and most foods are expensive . Just to buy the parts to make a simple salad you are looking arround $10 just without any dressing or meat, or herbs.

Tomorow will be an exersie day. Im starting to work on the principle of having a random exercise to perform to keep my body gurssing. Yesterday I filled a box with weights  and spent as long as I could holding the box, I had to change my grip and where on the box I held on as it slowly weakend me after 30 mins my arms were spent.

Also I experimented with some cheap fish, I think it was place , its a flat fish . When fried it goes all gloopy and sloppy. A nasty mess on the plate. The frozen brocalie that I steamed was also bland possibly because it was not fresh.

I am not going to struggle doing this, if it costs me to eat better then I may as well pay the price now for my paleo foods. Then as I learn more and more about it then I will be able to start finding where I can save money.

Eating for just 1 person I’m finding it difficult and expensive , to eat a basic diet. I may even get some scales but I’m not too fussed about my weight. There is a free set I should use.

Yesterday was my come down from the non paleo day , I had while traveling and socializeing , I slept a lot and was in a weird head space all day.
