First Trader Joe's haul since moving fromnI just did our first official Trader Joe's haul since moving to Miami from Toronto.nWe got three bags of groceries for under $100, which is absurd. It's crazy to me how much cheaper groceries are here. Actually, I should say Trader Joe's in particular. I know that they are primarily private label, which allows them to cut out the middleman, so they can be significantly cheaper. But it is crazy how much cheaper.nHow much cheaper?nSo we'll do a first Trader Joe's grocery haul after recently moving to my new apartment.nWe got ground turkey. We got two of these. You know it, the ground turkey. We got the turkey lettuce wraps once a week. It is in the weekly rotation. We love them there so good.nOne thing that we are excited to try are these protein pancakes made out of cottage cheese. So there's 20 grams of protein per package. These are also like $3. We got four packs. We know we're gonna like them.nMy boyfriend is also a doctor, so we try to be pretty careful and mindful with what we're eating. So it is a lot of fruit, it is a lot of vegetables for the lettuce wraps. We got egg bites. So these are the unexpected cheddar cheese and turkey sausage. And then the cheddar cheese and uncured bacon. More protein.nBut the thing is, we both work from home and we're both pretty busy in the morning. So we don't have a lot of time throughout the day to spend cooking meals. So we are looking for some snacks that we can grab.nPack of 96/4 ground beef. I use this to make spaghetti squash. It's one of Jake's favorite meals.nWith this one spaghetti squash, we can probably get two meals each out of this.nCouple of yogurt cups, cucumber, chicken breast, sweet potato fries.nOh my god. We got an extra egg bite.nAnd an onion.nLast bag.nTomatoes.nWe only put honey in our coffees, so bananas for honestly protein pancakes.nAvocado.nVermont maple syrup for, like, protein pancakes.nOrganic rolled oats.nWater.n$100. That is a pretty good haul. This grocery haul in Canada probably would have run me $160, $170. For a first haul, I think we've found some pretty good hacks. But if anybody else has any Trader Joe's hacks or foods that they really, really like, let me know in the comments.
