We can buy more than 100 in this much money. You guys are getting poor because of inflation. ;)

Here's my take:
  • Cut back on those Monster Energy drinks, the artificial sweetener in them can wreck havoc on your gut microbiome.
  • Ditch the Orange Juice, it's just as bad as soda.
  • Swap the white rice for whole grain rice.
  • Swap Chobani for plain yoghurt
It's good to see salmon, eggs, real butter, and avocado. Perhaps grab some broccoli or other Cruciferous vegetables next time you are at the grocery store.
If you are having trouble quitting soda, then it might be worth investing in a sodastream (or similar) or buying bottled sparkling water. You can even buy caffeinated soda water these days. I know this isn't the best advice, but I had a hell of a time quitting soda, and making that switch really helped me.

Good advice

I love monster tho!
My wife loves oj! I can not join in I guess
Is whole grain rice actually better? I gave bought brown rice but maybe that’s not whole grain
U and @Undisciplined both said plain yogurt
Yea had broccoli at home already. Love cruciferous vegetables and cabbage!
We drink a lot of la croix. Is that good enough?

When I said Wholegrain rice, I meant brown rice :). And it is better than white rice, with a lower GI rating, more fiber and nutrients. When I looked at your trolley the purple package of jasmine said 'white rice' on it.
La Croix is alright, plain sparkling water is better.
For Yogurt, try buying yogurt that is low in sugar and specifically use words like 'pro-biotic' and 'unsweetened' on the packaging.
reply
Unsweetened yogurt! Ok I’ll take a look.
Can I add a bunch of sugary granola to it?
reply
I wouldn't, try switching to rolled oats with a LITTLE bit of brown sugar or maple syrup.
If you can get some local raw honey, that would be better :)
reply
Like literally rolled oats or Quaker Oats instant oatmeal?

Yeah, literally rolled oats. I'm not too familiar with Quaker oats, but if they come in individual servings that should be fine
What! You think I can believe you didn't fill the trolly with a lot of unhealthy items? ;) Where's the final picture?
reply
Lmao! Ppl definitely think even this is unhealthy!
reply
Swapped the soda for monster energy drinks?
Otherwise pretty good looking cart.
reply
This guy gets it.
Yea monster is better right??
reply
Probably better than soda but still not great.
reply
Haha how is monster better? Why is soda so bad??
reply
I don't know. I don't drink energy drinks but I assume they have less chemicals and won't burn a hole in your stomach.
reply
A great assumption
reply
Ugh, chobani?!
That shit is candy more than it's yoghurt.
Also, that much energy drinks?
mmm, unimpressed. 3/10
(ed: bonus points for the Irish butter!)
reply
It was definitely the most expensive butter I knew u guys would like it!
Which brand of plain yogurt is best??
Two kids. Need energy drinks
reply
I have no idea what America's sugar-addicted stores have to offer. Find something without added sugar or corn syrup
reply
Even the water has high fructose corn syrup
reply
...or fluoride, as it were.
reply
Certainly a major improvement. Although, that's still a lot of Monster Energy drinks (and, yes, I saw the "zero sugar").
Any grains or produce that isn't organic was sprayed down with poison, so I always recommend going organic.
Pasture raised is better than cage free. Cage free doesn't mean the birds are outside eating their natural diet. Setting ethics aside, you'll get higher quality eggs from chickens in a more natural setting.
Those yogurts look very sugary. Get a big thing of plain and mix in honey and fruit.
Still, big improvement. 6/13
reply
What he said
reply
Man @Undisciplined you are living this huh??
Doesn’t zero sugar mean healthy??
Viral farms pasture raised is so pricey!
Not a fan of chobani huh? But it’s Greek!
Thanks for the encouragement you two!
reply
I don't live in CA, though, so my grocery bill is like a third of that (and everything's not on fire).
reply
It really is on fire!
But where do u live? The Somoa’s? Virgin Islajds?
reply
I've pitched my wife on the Virgin Islands, but it hasn't worked yet. Groceries and gas and such are actually quite expensive there, but there are almost no taxes.
reply
Puerto Rico has no bitcoin taxes but u have to live in puerto rico
reply
Puerto Rico has very high local taxes, though. My understanding is that the Virgin Islands have almost no taxes.
No soda but u got monster ur nuts I know its zero sugar but still
reply
