I've become obsessed with theseprotein bars.

They are low in calories, high in fiber, and delicious.

Almond butter is a game-changing product.

I haven't found a better price for a large tub. The only other thing is almonds.

I always have this in my fridge and I make sure to buy it when I run low.

I only purchase olive oil at the store.

I have a large jug of olive oil on hand.

Olive oil can be expensive at many stores, but I save money in the long run by buying it in bulk at the store.

Buying in bulk is a good idea.

Unopened containers of Kirkland's almond milk stay fresh in the pantry.Rachel Weber

Buying almond milk at the store saves me money. The cost of a box of 12 cartons is $12.

I freeze half of the box when I get home after buying them in bulk. They stay well.

Fage is one of the top-tier Greek yogurts and I can buy it at the store.

I use Greek yogurt almost daily, and I'm experimenting with new ways to incorporate it into my diet, like mixing it with peanut butter powder.

I make yogurt bowls with fresh fruit and nuts by adding it to sauces or smoothie.

My life has changed because of WestEnd Cuisine's Chicken Skewers.

Meal prep can be easier with prewashed vegetables.

I'll throw a few veggies in my air fryer for lunch and dinner on the weekdays.

I usually buy a green that will last in the fridge for a week or two, and then freeze it for later.

I like putting frozen cherries in my chocolate shakes.

It's a good place to buy meat if you like it.

Kirkland's packs of chicken freeze well.Rachel Weber

I like to buy chicken at the store. You can cut them into three separate packages when you get home.

I don't mind buying it in large quantities and freezing it because it's half as expensive as my normal grocery store chicken.

They are a summer staple.

I like Kirkland's hard seltzers just as much as popular name-brand ones.Rachel Weber

I used to buy a pack of hard seltzers for a beach trip and they were a crowd pleaser.

If not better, they're more cost-effective than other name brand seltzers.

I've never regretted buying brownies.
