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!
I spent more this week than I normally spend, but I have two disclaimers. 🙂
First, I’m hoping to make it more than a week before needing to grocery shop again. Second, my local Aldi was limiting the number of people inside the store, plus they were out of a number of things. There was a long line waiting to get in the store, and when it was finally my turn, I wanted to hurry as quickly as possible for the sake of the people waiting! I immediately saw all the empty spaces on the shelves and knew the best plan for me was to ditch my list and improvise based on what was in stock. So I did…basically I ran around like a crazy lady and threw all the things into my cart. 🙂
