Also, don't buy Atkins products. They're way overpriced. I get low carb bread for 3.29, low carb cereal for 2.29, I won't buy those outrageously highly priced low carb specialty items. Trader Joes is a great place to shop if you have them. Also, make your own baking mix. Use wheat gluten, soy flour, whey or wheat protein isolate. Lots of regular products are coming out in low carb versions and they aren't more expensive, generally. Buy those instead of speciality low carb items you'd find on the diet food aisle or in a specialty store.

I buy frozen, chicken breasts. Works out to just over $2.50 a pound, meat on special. I don't eat a lot of bacon, but I get it on sale and cook it all up and freeze what I won't eat right away.

The supermarkets in my town charge outrageous prices on produce, so I go to the little natural foods stores that have BETTER looking produce for half or less of the price. Go figure.
