Vegan grocery haul alert!

In this haul, I use Instacart to bring groceries to our house while I worked on a project.

Instacart is amazing! You just use the app to order and pay for your groceries, and they send someone to shop and deliver the food to you.

In this grocery haul, I spent about $200 at Whole Foods.

Of course, you don't have to shop at places like Whole Foods to be vegan -- Wal-Mart, Trader Joe's, Safeway, Kroger and Aldi all have vegan options.

Did you notice how I butchered "Worcestershire" in this video? After filming, I watched a YouTube tutorial, and practiced saying it for 15 minutes. I can finally pronounce it right now! At least I think so lol

Resources mentioned in the video:

Instacart
I used the Field Roast vegan cheese & sausage in this video in my previous video for One-Pot Cheesy Sausage & Pasta.
Eggplant bacon recipe from Minimalist Baker
Raw apple peanut butter protein bars from JJ Smith's book, Green Smoothies for Life (not all recipes in the book are vegan) -- The full recipe is on Divas Can Cook
Roasted potatoes recipe
TofuXpress — I use this to press our tofu
The Worcestershire sauce in the video (Whole Foods' 360 brand) is vegan. Most of the conventional brands of Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies, so be sure to check the ingredients.

Where do you grocery shop the most? Leave me a comment below.

I hope you're having a great week!

We moved last month and it opened my world up to a lot more natural grocery stores (expect more reviews on vegan products on Instagram).

I been playing around in Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and a local store called Mom's Organic Market.

Mom's Organic Market is where my latest haul is from.

I do like this store a lot and plan to shop there more because they carry a lot of local produce (which is more important than organic to me).

Quick info about the haul:

I spent $130 on this grocery trip
I can usually get a lot more food for that price at Wegmans (my usual store). Mom's is all organic, so I didn't have a choice if I only wanted certain items to be organic.
Also, buying a lot of meat alternatives drove up the price too (I don't usually get so many on the same grocery trip).
This food lasted about a week because I already had many ingredients at home.
We spend about $650-$700 a month on groceries for a family of 5
We ate more meals than I listed below...these are the ones that I remembered to write down and take pics of

What I cooked with the ingredients:

*** Field Roast meatloaf (very good!), mashed potatoes (I didn't measure but I used almond milk, Earth Balance vegan margarine, salt, black pepper & oregano to make these) & steamed broccoli
