    Practical Budget Friendly Grocery & Cooking Guide

    Walking into the grocery store shouldn’t feel overwhelming, defeating, or financially stressful—but for so many women, it does. In this episode, we’re talking about how to grocery shop with confidence, clarity, and stewardship, even on a tight budget and a busy schedule. This is not about perfection, fancy recipes, or “clean eating” trends. It’s about simple, repeatable systems that actually work in real life. I walk you through two practical grocery scenarios: Option A: a single woman or single mom shopping for herselfOption B: a mom feeding herself, her husband, and two kidsIf grocery shopping has ever made you feel stressed, behind, or discouraged—this episode is here to give you confidence, peace, and a plan.  OPTION A Single Woman Weekly Budget Target: $60–$80 CORE STAPLES Proteins 2 lb chicken thighs or chicken breasts1 lb ground turkey or ground beef 93/7Eggs (18-count if possible)Greek yogurtCarbs Rice (large microwavable packets if tight on time) (large non-microwable bag to cook is cheaper though)OatsPotatoes or sweet potatoesBread or wrapsFats Olive oil or avocado oilPeanut butterProduce Frozen broccoli or Frozen green beansFrozen mixed vegetablesBananas or applesHIGHLY RECOMMENDED STAPLES Rotisserie chickenAlmond milkProtein powder (optimum nutrition gold standard)OPTIONAL  SalsaLow-cost pasta sauceSeasonings:  SaltPepper Garlic powderChili flakesOPTION B Mom + Husband + Two Kids CORE FAMILY STAPLES 4–5 lb chicken thighs or breasts2 lb ground beef or ground turkeyEggs (24-count)Frozen chicken nuggetsCarbs RicePastaPotatoesTortillas or breadProduce Frozen broccoliFrozen cornFrozen mixed vegetablesApplesBananasOrangesFats Olive oilButterFAMILY ESSENTIALS Pasta sauceCheesePeanut butterCereal OPTIONAL  Just Bare chicken nuggetsTyson grilled chicken stripsKirkland frozen meatballsFrozen shrimpDisclaimer  The nutrition and training plans provided by The Refinery Movement and AJ Amrhein, LLC are intended for educational and informational purposes only.
