My older sister, Brigette, shares her shopping trips and menu plans every week! You can go HERE to see all of her weekly menu plans and you can go HERE to read all about her family!
There were some fantastic prices this week, so I stocked up on a few things and spent a little more than usual. This will save us money in the long run, so it’s worth it to me (plus we’ve had a few less-than-$100 grocery weeks this last month, so technically I’m still within budget).
