Aimee’s Weekly Grocery Haul and Menu Plan

This week has been so different for me because I am on my MAY – NO SPEND CHALLENGE. If you’d like to read more about the challenge, or you’d like to join it’s not too late! We’d love to have you join in on the FUN and SAVE MONEY! Read more about the challenge by clicking the link below:

Anyways, so now that you know about the challenge, you can see that we are saving $1000 this month, which means I cut our normal $140 weekly grocery budget down to $40 per week! We are crazy and super excited to save money! So here’s what I got today:

Aldi’s Trip: Spent $35.92

Favorite Deals:

Avocados: $.25 each

Strawberries: $.89 per pound

Gala apples, 3/lb bag: $2.19

Clancy’s Cheese Curls: $.89

Gluten-Free Bread: $2.79

Sprouts Trip: Spent $3.75

One of my daughter’s came to me last week and asked if I could buy some blueberries. I told her that I would if I could get them on sale. Sprout’s has them on sale this week for $1.25 per package, so on my husband’s way home from class he picked them up for her.

Blueberries: $1.25 per package

GRAND TOTAL FOR THE WEEK: $39.67

__________________________________________________________________________

The reason I am able to only spend $40 per week for all the groceries we need, is because last month I saved a lot of our grocery money and bought meat on sale. So my freezer is stocked full of meat to get us through the whole month of May.

Weekly Menu Plan:

Breakfasts:

  • gf oatmeal pancake muffins, frozen waffles and sausage, homemade granola, cereal

Lunches:

  • sandwiches with chips and fruit, vegetable soup, yogurt cups, salad, leftovers

Dinners:

  • Meatloaf with hash brown casserole and marinated zucchini spears
  • Slow cooker Lemon Garlic pork loin with gf pasta and peas
  • Baked potato bar
  • Leftovers
  • Chicken salad and nibble plates
  • Roasted chicken and potatoes, with green beans
  • Chicken enchiladas with corn and beans

    How I wish it was that cheap in Canada. I pay at least 3.99$ for 1 pound of strawberries on sale. That pack of blueberries also is 3.99 sometimes more. Here, in New-Brunswick it’s expensive for food.

      I’m so sorry to hear that. Is frozen fruit any cheaper?

    Same. 25 cents for a avocado is 2 dollars or more for 1 here. 9 dollars for berries.
