Aimee’s $120 Weekly Grocery Haul and Menu Plan

Aimee’s $120 Weekly Grocery Haul and Menu Plan

My plans were to go to Sprouts and Aldi’s…. yet I ended up getting my groceries at Walmart and Foods Co. this week… With Labor Day weekend, I just didn’t get to the bank when I should have to pull our cash for the month. Which means I didn’t have grocery money when I “needed” it. So I finally made it to the store on Tuesday and got what I needed. Thankfully I had already menu planned, so that made it easier.

I looked through my pantry and freezer as I was menu planning, and I decided to use up the meat that was already in my freezer, so that means I didn’t need to buy meat!

I do want to be completely honest with you all and say, we adopted our son from foster care, and he gets to keep his WIC until he turns 5. So for one more year we get free milk every week, which is a total blessing. Pictured below you will see cereal, bread, and milk. These items were purchase with a WIC coupon and not apart of my total grocery bill.

Walmart Trip: Spent $23.02

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a picture of this trip. We had a BBQ at my parents house on Labor Day, so I needed to help bring some goodies. I brought cucumber slices and baby carrots with homemade ranch dip, and salami and cream cheese. I also bought organic milk because it’s my favorite!!! I LOVE drinking a glass on organic milk in the mornings before I enjoy my coffee.
