Keto on a budget? Yes it can be done!
A common complaint is that Keto is too expensive, so I wanted to see just how much I could get for under $80..and how many of my recipes I could make with just those ingredients.
So here’s my under $80 Aldi shop.
This is not an exhaustive list. What other meal ideas or recipes would you make with these ingredients?
