As I discussed final week, we’re making an attempt out the 5-Ingredient Meal Plan Field proper now. We simply completed up week 3 and we’re actually loving it (see what we ate this week once you scroll right down to the underside of the submit).
The elements for the recipes are slightly greater than I might sometimes spend (as a result of I often base our menus upon what I’ve available and what’s on sale) however I’m having enjoyable getting artistic to see if I can work them into our grocery price range.
By the best way, in full transparency, the meal plan field is dear and I most likely would have by no means bought it had Laurie not given me one when she and I met up just lately. That stated, I see the worth in them now that I’ve used one for every week! (Laurie stated you might use code MONEYSAVINGMOM to save lots of 15% off for those who had been pondering of probably buying it.)
I did my grocery buying at Aldi final week. The offers weren’t that nice at Kroger and I needed to see if I might purchase all the pieces we wanted for the week at Aldi and keep underneath $100. We had been proper underneath $100 for all the pieces!!
I purchased two baggage of apples as a result of this was such a very good deal on Pink Girl apples!
And I purchased two cantaloupe as this was among the finest costs I’ve seen in awhile!
We love mandarins — they usually had been simply $2.69 for 3 kilos so I purchased two baggage!
I didn’t purchase this deal as a result of I had discovered one other deal at Kroger a couple of months in the past that was even higher and I stocked up on sufficient pumpkin to doubtless final for a 12 months! However verify your Aldi retailer to see if they’ve this markdown!
I used to be SO enthusiastic about this! There was an worker that was on the meat part placing purple clearance stickers on the meat!! That was a primary for me and also you higher imagine I scooped up these two kilos of floor beef at half value!
I obtained all the pieces we wanted for dinners plus snacks and lunches. We nonetheless have numerous oatmeal packets and cereal from current gross sales, so we used that for breakfasts this previous week.
All totaled, it was slightly below $100 for all of this — together with the laundry cleaning soap. Yay!
