I’m so excited to be again to sharing my grocery journeys and menu plans after taking time without work for my maternity depart! My purpose is to do my Kroger buying on Wednesdays or Thursdays after which put up right here by Friday so those that have a Kroger that has the identical gross sales as mine can make the most of the offers earlier than the sale is completed (Kroger gross sales in our area run Wednesday by means of Tuesday).
{Comply with me on Instagram tales for real-time movies on what I’m shopping for when you don’t need to have to attend for me to get the put up written up for the weblog!}
When you’re new right here, I apply the Purchase Forward Precept — which implies that what we purchase every week is usually for future weeks. We refill on the very best offers and markdowns every week and that implies that we then have a wide range of objects from earlier buying journeys to make use of to plan a menu from.
Along with training the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Which means I plan primarily based upon what we’ve available plus what good gross sales/markdowns I discovered on the shops. (Learn extra about Reverse Meal-Planning right here.)
Right here’s what we purchased…
We solely spent $57 on groceries final week, so I had further to spend this week. Jesse went to Walgreens and picked up the $1.99 Arm & Hammer laundry detergent + a half gallon of milk. His complete was $11.53.
After which yesterday I went to Kroger and obtained all of those groceries for $59.97. So I nonetheless have $11 left within the price range for this month. I’ll both use it for a fantastic deal that pops up or one thing we want over the following few days or I’ll roll it over to subsequent week.
I used to be excited by this sale on peaches/nectarines! Use the digital coupon and you will get 5 kilos for simply $0.99/lb. Cheese was $4.99 for 32-oz.luggage and blocks with the digital coupon. And blueberries have been $2.99 for an 18-oz. carton.
In addition they had watermelons for $2 and $2.99!!
I picked up these two luggage of tomatoes marked right down to $0.99 every. So I made a model of Do-it-yourself Salsa utilizing what we’ve available and am pondering of constructing a Tomato Pie for the primary time with the remaining.
