Hello, my beautiful people! Happy Tuesday.. Pretty sure today is the Monday-est Tuesday ever lol, but hey- that’s okay! We are still being productive and getting ish done.
I asked everyone on my IG — @ohh_kelly –go follow me you don’t already.. #shamelessplug haha – what they wanted to see today… either a grocery haul or a full day of eating.
Welp, I decided to do BOTH. Since the FDOE is currently taking place on my Instagram story, I figured I would put this grocery haul on my blog. It’s the best of both worlds.
When it comes to grocery shopping, this girl is a creature of habit. I go to the grocery store every single Monday without fail.
First stop, coffee — so I can mental handle the chaos that is Walmart lol.
But, as a creature of habit, I pretty much buy the same staples from week to week because i eat the same things on a pretty consistent basis. I like what I like, so it’s hard for me to switch it up sometimes.
So, first i’ll share with you some staples that I eat on a regular basis that i already had on hand at home, and then share with you what I picked up at the grocery store this week.
Here we go…

I think that pretty much covers it… These are the majority of the foods that I eat on a weekly basis. Eating “healthy” doesn’t have to be boring or bland- I enjoy everything I put into my body.
So if I can get one point across to y’all, it’s this… if you are trying to make “healthier” food choices, choose foods that you ENJOY. You don’t have to eat broccoli if you hate it. You don’t have to eat plain, boring chicken every single day. Experiment. Try different foods. Find what you like, because honestly, if you’re eating foods you enjoy, it makes living a healthy lifestyle a lot easier. Why? Because you like it, and it doesn’t feel like such a chore.
What are some of your favorite foods? What do you eat on a daily basis and what do I need to buy/try, the next time I go to the grocery store?? Let me know in the comments!
