Shopping

So to prepare for this journey, we had to go shopping.
We didn't clean out our kitchen to wipe out anything wheat free because at this moment, it is just my sister and I that are participating in this diet. Providing we can make a go of it and make most of our every day food options to have similar taste and texture, we will attempt to implement this as a family.
We tried several stores in our area. A local grocery store, a major discount chain store, a health food store and a local co-op. Each store had many, but not all, of what we were looking for, so we will probably have to do a little bit of running around to get all that we need, but more or less, we are finding the needed items. Purchasing product online is also an option, but we didn't quite do enough advanced research into what we would need, thus buy, so we didn't really know what would be available locally. Going forward, we'll probably purchase more online to make it a little more budget friendly.
I won't lie. I don't think anyone would tell you different. Choosing a healthier eating lifestyle will not come cheap. Some things are comparable and others are two or three times higher in cost, sometimes more. Your area shopping choices may not be as plentiful as ours, but like I said, online purchases are a good option.
