grocery budget: mixed nuts

Why write about mixed nuts?

Ingenuity and creativity, my new mantra for my budget challenge. So, we love to buy the Kirkland mixed nuts from Costco. Right now, I’m eating keto – 30 net carbs and lots of protein. Nuts are good way to add protein to my salads and snacks.

However Costco is 1 1/2 hours away. in the meantime we need nuts. On my trip to ALDI, I found bags of Serenity trail mix which contained nuts, cranberries and raisins. They were $4.80/lb. I sorted them into 2 groups. We can eat the nuts now. I’ll use the dried fruit in cookies and cakes.

With the dried fruit out of the mix, the nuts may be slightly more expensive. Though I don’t think they are as expensive as Kroger.
