What has been your favorite places to purchase paleo friendly foods that are both cheap and realiable? These are the products I typically look for online:

Raw or Sprouted Nuts

Gluten Free Organic and/or grass fed Jerky

Coconut Chips/Oils/Flour

Dried Fruits

Almond Meal

Olive Oil and olive oil based dressings

Dark Chocolate

I guess as a second question, is there anything special you guys look for online?

Raw Nuts - Trader Joes

Coconut Oils - I actually found one at Super Walmart that I use for cooking. My local health food store has a better one, but much more expensive.

Dried Fruits - I don't eat them, but Trader Joes has a wonderful selection

Almond Flour/Coconut Flour - Meijer has them near me and some of the other grocery stores. They mainly carry the Bob's Red Mill brand.

Olive Oil - Super Walmart (I'm not picky about this one, maybe I should be)

Dark Chocolate - Trader Joes! But my Super Walmart carry's the Black & Green organic high cacao versions too.

I don't buy any Paleo foods online. I am working with a local farmer for the grassfed meat and just need to get my butt down there and pick it up.

When I was vegan i was super picky about olive oil, spending way more than I should have on it. I probably coveted it because it became a standout taste in a lot of dishes and because it was close to my only consistent fat source. Now that neither of those things are the case, I am fine with cheaper stuff. Luckily the cheapest I've found that doesn't taste gross to me is at a mom-n-pop Italian market downtown. Our supermarket brand is okay, too. – amanda Dec 13 2010 at 17:59
Ooh, I have an awesome Italian Market that I don't go too much anymore now that I'm not eating sandwiches and pasta. I miss it. I'll have to go in and check out the olive oil selection and maybe a Lambrusco! ;P – sherpamelissa Dec 13 2010 at 19:07

I used creigslist to find farm eggs and google to look for CSA's, but in general I don't buy off the internet.

Chocolate is the one thing I would absolutely not buy, there are too many shipping issues if it comes to Florida, hard to get it when it hasn't had a fat bloom from uncontrolled temps. Sometimes happens if I buy it in the store too, but then it is easy to return.

I get my beef directly from http://www.greenvistafarm.com/ , who is about a hour from me. I buy the bulk pack.

My chicken and pork come from a local butcher who sells local products. Everything else comes from the grocery store.
