Keto / Low Carb Frugal Meal Prep Thread? Saving Pounds while (hopefully) Losing em!

Options
I have taken a look and I can't see a thread or even a specific place to put this, please feel free to redirect me!

I follow low carb, and I am a tightfisted, yellow sticker chaser and I love to save money on a lifestyle that can become pricey easily. 

I love money-saving recipes, I meal prep and love cooking in bulk. I was wondering if there was a thread or space for this? I find so many for low fat (rice and beans for days!) but not as much as I would like for low carbers. Even at 110lbs down I still have 90lbs to go and I want to save as much money as I can along the way. Thank you

    Try the old style board.
  • A good idea for a thread. I've not seen one covering this.

    I agree low carb is pricey. I'm not sure if I am as low carb as you.  I eat quite a lot of above ground veggies and a few below ground. I also have fruits (but limit sweet ones).

    I used to eat smoked salmon, but I switched to wild tinned salmon (it great fish cakes with sweet potato) and packets of smoked mackerel for salads. I prefer wild fish and it is cheaper for me.

    Good luck with your thread
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
