What foods would you pack for an 8 week road trip?

Hi reader,

We've officially hit the road, logged several hundred miles in the car and quite a few miles on foot too… and we've had PLENTY of opportunities to test out our meal plan and food storage for the trip. 

Thankfully, it's all working out WONDERFULLY!!

The food locker is similar to this one, except we got it at Walmart for $20. Here's a list of EVERYTHING we packed in it (notice that I didn't make everything from scratch!!):

Spices:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Chili powder
  • Cumin
  • Cinnamon
  • Cayenne 
  • Taco seasoning
  • Greek Seasoning
  • Blackened Seasoning
  • Ranch Seasoning


Condiments:

  • Ghee (so we didn't have to deal with melting butter in the desert)
  • Olive oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Mustard
  • Lime juice


Foods:

  • Paleo Valley Meat Sticks
  • Quest Bars
  • Kind Bars (this flavorfound marked down at Kroger over the past several months)
  • Grain-free Granola bars (this kind, found at Costco)
  • Almonds
  • Cashews
  • Homemade Granola
  • Homemade Trail Mix
  • Canned Tuna
  • Canned Salmon
  • Ground Coffee (so we didn't have to bring the grinder)
  • Shelf-stable almond milk
  • Sliced pepperoccini's
  • Olives
  • Coconut milk
  • Rolled Oats
  • Individual Fruit cups
  • Diced tomatoes
  • BBQ sauce


My goal was to pack as much as I could from home, pack SIMPLE foods, bring only things that could be easily replaced from a store (either Walmart or local stores), and so far, so good!!

ALL my best ♥,


PS - We also have a "Supplement Bag" where we keep a few favorites, including Collagen from Perfect Supplements, Vegan Protein Powder, Magnesium Lotion, and Natural Calm.

I stocked up on my Collagen before we left, but I'm guessing you may be running low since their last big sale. If you're ready to stock up again, you can get an additional 15% off anything at Perfect Supplements for the next three days ONLY!

Yep, just use coupon code CRUMBS15 and get 15% off PLUS any volume discounts (like buy three tubs and save more).
