Turkey bacon, ground turkey and egg whites are a MUST. We use e-mealz on the low carb menu to help us out. It is $5 a month and gives you weekly menus and shopping list based on your choice and the store's weekly specials. It has been a great budget tool for us. We also love feta and spinach in a lot of things. One thing I have noticed is that the organic and all natural items you buy can a lot of times have more calories and fat. It takes longer, but read the labels. Hope you have success on buying healthier!

Always have fruits for breakfast and snacks, and lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber for salads.

Then I make a weekly menu and buy according to that. I try to use ingredients in more than one recipe to make sure I don't waste food. I make/use recipe cards and but them in a basket in my kitchen. If hubby gets home before me he knows what do to (although I do most of the food prep on the weekend).

I'm getting good a planning and can usually stay under $120 for the whole week. My menus are also based on weekly flyer sales. I also use skinnytaste.com for insiration.

Add me if you need help with menu planning.
