Weekly Grocery Haul

Back at cha with another grocery haul! My boyfriend and I have been trying to decide if we want to change our diet and eat only plant-based foods. We would be cutting out A LOT of things, which is why it’s so hard to just dive in and do it. We might start at a lower scale and begin by eating a “clean” diet. I’ll give you the rundown on eating clean in next week’s grocery haul! Since I didn’t grocery shop for a clean diet this week 😛
