It's All About the Guacamole

I am a bit of a grocery store snob. I soak up every second I get of roaming the aisles of Whole Foods. Everything is so pretty and clean. The carts roll smoothly, there are food samples everywhere, their employees are friendly, and most importantly I feel cool just being there. But this is an expensive and time consuming luxury that happens to be causing quite the dent in our wallets. So I am now making an effort to be budget conscience about our paleo menu.
One item on our grocery list every week is avocados. We buy and eat about 12 to 15 a week. Whole foods had avocados for 5 for $5. Ouch! But because avocados are relatively free of pesticides and not on the dirty dozen list we can buy these anywhere!
I had noticed in the Sav-a-lot ad they had avocados 5 for $1 this week. I am not going to lie, I really dislike this store but I couldn't pass up a good deal like this. I walked out with 15 avocados for $3!!! Of course I had to brag to Levi later that I made $12 today. I am really good at making money by shopping.
For those of you who are thinking, "why do they eat that many high in fat avocados?!?" here is a short incomplete list of avocado's goodness:
Avocado is rich in folate which prevents birth defects.
Avocados are good sources of potassium...great for muscle cramps and blood pressure issues.
Avocados contain polyphenols that are anti-inflammatory.
Avocados contain glutathione which is great for the immune system, kills those nasty free radicals, and is anti-aging.
The fat from avocados aids in the absorption of nutrients and keeps us from getting too scrawny.

So grab a few bucks and stock up on some healthy fatty goodness so you can "make" some money too.
