I can't help you with the saving money thing since I'm a single guy with no kids. I spend a way larger percentage of my income on food than most.

However, I have some experience with three Julian Bakery items.
Almond Thins - Excellent cracker replacement. You wouldn't know they weren't a regular cracker if no one told you.
Paleo Wraps - Excellent wrap replacement.
Paleo Bread (Coconut) - Tastes good, strange (but not necessarily bad) consistency. Smaller than a typical slice of bread but also a bit denser. I made some very tasty french toast with it.

If money were not an object, I would keep all of these items on hand. However, this is Julian Bakery's downfall - everything they sell, is so damn expensive.

Welcome to the boards and to paleo.

There are tons of recipes out there for bone broth on paleo recipe websites, but I've never made it (I've only been paleo since July '13). I have made vegetable broth once and froze a lot in ziplock bags... but I usually just buy chicken broth from the store. Here is a link for good advice to make bone broth (I consider people successful at Whole30s to be paleo experts): http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/222-looking-for-some-bone-broth-101-tips/

I would use recipes like these if I did make it, though.

Or this from Elena's pantry:

How to Make Chicken Stock
1 chicken carcass (I made Chipotle Orange Chicken; used the carcass after we dined on the meat)
3 quarts cold water
1 onion, halved
4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
10 cloves garlic, no need to peel
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
10 sprigs fresh thyme
5 celery tops (the leaves and ribs from the inside of a bunch of celery)
2 bay leaves
Place the chicken carcass in a large stockpot with the water
Bring pot to a boil and then reduce to a simmer
Meanwhile, place onion, carrot and garlic cloves on a parchment lined baking sheet
Roast at 400° for one hour
Add roasted vegetables to stock, then add parsley, thyme, celery and bay leaves
Simmer stock one more hour then cool and strain into glass mason jars
Drink alone or use for soups and sauces

Would love to get your chili and eggplant caneloni recipes!

I agree with what others have said that you should avoid nut flours. You're basically exchanging wheat seeds for almond seeds. You'll be consuming a lot of omega-6's and a LOT of calories too.

I've been ketogenic Primal for a year, and now half a year more keto Paleo (high fat, mod protein, low carb). The longer I go the stricter my eating plan and the better I feel.

Depending on your needs, I wound watch the sugar/carbs. Even too much "natural" sugars are detrimental especially if you are resolving metabolic issues (obesity is just one of many). It's also detrimental to switch to Paleo substitutions of grain based products such as bread, cakes, muffins, cookies etc. Those things are ok occasionally in small amounts but as a daily addition they will not be healthy and will not help you to meet your goals. Your kids don't "need" them either. I make Paleo granola bars for my child but she doesn't get to over-indulge. Eating too many nuts just isn't beneficial. I base my diet on fat, meat, veggies and eggs. Nuts and fruits are eaten in moderation.

As for money. I've monitored all of my spending for years. Sometimes I feel like I'm spending a ton and I have to jump though hoops to find some products and get them shipped (I live in the Arctic); however, while my individual items are often very expensive, I also eat far less than I used to. So, on average, I save 10-20% on my groceries than pre-Paleo and it's because I eat so much less. I eat less because I am eating nutrient dense food and no longer have malnourishment (symptom: binge eating disorder and chronic illness). I eat as much wild food as I can get access to as well including caribou, arctic char, muskox, moose, etc. Get to know your local farmers (if you live where there are any!) and buy locally. Small food producers need all the support they can get and it's worth any effort to get the healthiest food.

I know that at first, the "what to put food in instead of bread" creates an issue. In hindsight it seems a strange dilemma indeed. My strategies: just eat the fillings, I sometimes even eat a piece of butter by itself; use lettuce; for things like fajita/taco filling just throw them on a bed of lettuce. There is life beyond bread. I found substitutes annoying to make, not healthy for me, I had trouble controlling my portions (a good indicator that I should avoid them) and I just don't need them.

I think it depends on your health goals how many "treats" you can indulge in. I find wheat so bad for my health that I will NEVER eat it again. No, not even pizza... but why not just the toppings or make a meatza? My cravings return instantly when I resume eating high sugar or grains, and the pounds pack on as much as 1 pound per day. I don't know how that is possible, but it just happened to me at Christmas.

I think 80/20 is fine for people who have achieved their health goals and maintained well for a length of time. 80/20 is a fail for me even after 18 months. In fact, I get more and more strict Paleo as I go. I love how I feel and no food is worth being sick for. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy a glass of red wine, a delicious cheese, or organic popcorn smothered in butter once in a blue moon.

I don't think it is realistic to plan to be 100% strict Paleo forever and ever. However, find a way to enjoy the Paleo lifestyle that keeps you getting closer to your health goals. Most importantly, you don't want to be constantly struggling with cravings and feeling like crap after each treat or you just won't find the lifestyle sustainable. Be careful that you don't fall into "eat all the things" after your 30 days. I did that after my last Whole30 (which ended before Christmas) and it totally wiped out all the benefits earned and then some.

It's my personal opinion, and I accept that others disagree, that wheat is not something that should be added back into a Paleo lifestyle at all. It's that bad.

This is just my OPINION as I don't have a ton of experience on the diet (yet!) I find it easier to forget about bread and those things all together. I read on one of these threads someone wrote "don't mourn the loss of food that made you sick." That may be roughly quoted but bottom line is that you don't NEED bread, try to make lettuce wraps instead of sandwiches, almond butter on apples, etc. I even dunk mushrooms in my egg yolks because I still like them over easy even without toast. If you opt to buy pre-made substitutes for your previous favorite foods you will 1.be disappointed because most don't taste great 2. never stop mourning the loss of that particular food 3. pay wayyyyy more for it! I keep a stalked fridge (meats, fish, poultry, veggies, avocados, NUTS!) and since switching to a paleo lifestyle have SAVED a bunch of money!

Glad you are enjoying it so far, keep up the great work! everyone says the first 2 weeks are the hardest so it will get easier, soon! Best of Luck!!!
