Happy Friday friends!! I am getting on here again to share another grocery haul with y'all. Yesterday the kids and I ventured out to Wal-Mart and Winco to grab some things for this long holiday weekend and for another week worth of meals. We were able to get everything on our list for $213.46. $133.95 of that total was for strictly food items, with $79.51 being for non food items. On the list this week were kitty litter, air freshers, new bathing suits for the kids, and a lot of goodies for our long holiday weekend. We have plans to visit family, swim a lot, and spend a lot of down time with dad on his day off.
I have a cost breakdown of what we bought. In the video I take you through each thing we bought, what we will be eating this upcoming week, and the progress we are making on cleaning out our freezer chest. I am happy to announce that we only have about a quarter of it filled now. My goal is to have it emptied by the end of June and I think we are right on track with that.

I can't get over how cheap the food is there! To give you an idea of the difference today I paid $0.97 for cilantro, $0.40/ear of corn, $0.77/lb for bananas $5.99 for 2 lbs of strawberries.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love when you do grocery hauls and share meal plans. Gives so much inspiration. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI need to make strawberry chicken sometime.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy your grocery hauls. I find them so interesting and helpful.
Thanks so much!!!
DeleteI was really excited when I heard about your blog, but now? Not so much...do you always buy huge amounts of pre-packaged/processed foods? And, where is the fresh produce?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you feel that way. Check out more than one video/post and you'll see we buy a variety of things. This was a special haul for the long holiday weekend 😃
DeleteI am another new reader...the one thing I noticed is you put the tomatoes in the fridge.Tomatoes should never be refrigerated...if you leave them out, you will find they do not get mealy and they taste so much fresher!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the weekend.
Just stumbled across your blog. So far, great treadings. I love your desire to be thrifty, yet the knowledge of special times, call for out of the ordinary purchases. God bless !
ReplyDeleteLove your thriftiness! But a question...do you ever fix your family a proper meat and potato meal? Sometimes those are actually cheaper than a casserole, crockpot meal, etc,
ReplyDeleteLike I can get eye of round roast for 2.99 per lb and divide 1 roast into 3 meals (wrap and freeze the other 2 pieces). Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, maybe some onion flakes and roast till medium rare, maybe 140 degrees, slice thin and make a gravy with the drippings. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes and a veg. It's so so good and such a nice change from nachos, tacos, crockpot items, etc, etc.
