Our First Shopping Trip!!!

Well, we finally went on our first "dairy free" shopping trip at Hy-Vee and Wal-Mart!  Hy-vee was by far the better experience between two
.

Hy-Vee had a wonderful selection of organics and natural section! It still took some time to sort through what items did and did not have dairy however they had a well placed refrigerated  and freezer section dedicated to the department. We bought some Almond Breeze milk, dairy free cheese, dairy free yogurt, and coconut milk ice cream. On a whole the shopping trip was a great experience.

Our Wal-Mart trip did not quite go as easily as our Hy-Vee trip. We did find a cheaper price on the Almond Breeze milk in a larger size however we had to really search to find the products we were looking for. The best news of all Clayton found out the Jell-o pudding does not have any dairy products and is making pudding right now. We will let you know how it turns out!!!

Today is our third day of being dairy free and I did have some cravings for things I knew I just could not have. However for the first time in a while I was ready to get up when the alarm went off and I was not as tired through out the day.

Next weekend we will be venturing out to Aldi..... We shall see how we can maintain our tight food budget while still maintaining being dairy free. We got to splurge a little bit this week!
