4/5/18 Grocery Haul
I decided to get back on my healthy eating kick. I also need to save some money. With working full time, both are really hard to do. Here's to meal prep!
So I spent about $30 on
Groceries that will last me more than a week. I'm hoping I can stretch 2 out of a lot of this stuff. Some things like the chia seeds however, will last much longer. I did have quite a few staples already on hand so the bulk of what I needed this week was just produce. Let me give you all a quick break down.
1 Dozen eggs (I went to 3 stores sadly because prices were so high at the others, lucky for me though it wasn't out of the way)
1 package of frozen burritos. I like keeping these on hand for something quick when I get home late from work.
1 box frozen loaded perogi. Another snack that I like to have on hand when they are on sale.
1 lb of red grapes. Again, another good sale that I wanted to take advantage of.
1 package of chia seeds. This will last me at least a month.
1 package of individual cheese sticks. I take these to work often in my lunches.
3 bell peppers. Another good aldi find. 3 peppers for under $2. Can't beat that. These will go in lunches for work with hummus.
1 bag of carrots. Another snack I like to keep on hand, as well as something I take to work for lunch.
1pt grape tomatoes. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in general, but these little ones are great.
2 mangos.
2 cucumbers
2lbs of sweet potatoes. I plan on slicing them thin and making crisps out of them.
1 block of cream cheese. Instead of going through Dunkin Doughnuts drive through for a bagel I'll just make one at home.
I also picked up a block of mozzarella cheese, but that will be for pizza rolls tonight. So I won't count that in, even through it was part of the final price.
All and all, a pretty good haul. I can't wait to see what I make from it.
