Crystal’s $80 Grocery Shopping Trip (+ our menu strategy)

As I pointed out just recently, we’re experimenting with the 5-Ingredient Meal Plan Box today. We’re doing week 6 today and we’re truly caring it (see what we’re consuming this coming week when you scroll down to the bottom of the post).

I didn’t have that much I required to purchase today because we currently had some things on hand from previous sales for a few of the meals today. So we just invested a little over $80. I’ll likely roll over the additional $20 in our spending plan to next week.

We’re hosting a huge graduation celebration this Saturday (we’re spending for it out of a different spending plan because Kathrynne picked the menu and we’re anticipating 70+ individuals!) and we’ll likely have leftovers from that, so we might be consuming those for the majority of next week. We’ll see!
