I went shopping on Monday morning — something I haven’t done a lot recently (I’ve gotten into a rhythm of often shopping on Saturday evening). I remembered why I used to be such a fan of shopping on weekday mornings… because there were so many great produce markdowns!!
I did a happy dance when I saw all these bananas and peppers marked down!
And look at all that meat marked down!

Many of you have been asking for me to share more about what we eat each week. So here’s a little peek into some of our meals this week…
Monday night we used bread I had in the freezer (that I had gotten marked down and had frozen) + the cartons of Cage-Free eggs I got marked down to make…
French Toast! We served it with fruit on the side.
Lunches every day (for me) were salads with toast and butter.
Tuesday night, we had a double header baseball game for Silas, so we had a quick and simple meal of meatballs (using the marked down ground beef and turkey I had gotten recently and frozen) and raw peppers (since I got a lot marked down!)
I ate Energy Bites for breakfast some of the mornings. We also did scrambled eggs and blueberries and the kids had cereal or oatmeal most of the morning.
Wednesday night we had Barbecue Chicken (barbecue sauce over frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot), Rice, Raw Peppers, and Sourdough Bread.
Thursday night, the three older kids had leftovers and Jesse and I took the babies to a Foster Care Appreciation Dinner at Church of the City (they had free childcare!)
Friday night, we had baseball again, so I did a salad with toast for dinner. Jesse grabbed some fast food for the rest of the family.
Saturday we had Frozen Pizzas and veggies. Sunday we had fend for yourself — which was leftovers and cereal!
Was it helpful to have this rundown of what we ate? Let me know — and, if so, I’ll try to do it more often!
I’ll be speaking twice at the event. Plus, there will some breaks where I’ll have time to interact with attendees. (Getting to meet you all is one of my favorite things, so if you are there, please come introduce yourself!)
This Fresh Grounded Faith event will be October 15-16, 2021. It’s Friday evening from 7-9:30 p.m. and Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It’s hosted by Bible teacher Jennifer Rothschild and Tammy Trent will also be speaking + Shaun Groves will be leading worship.
This would be the perfect girls’ weekend! It will be an encouraging week of Biblical wisdom designed to freshen up your faith and ground you more deeply in God’s love! Get ready to experience a socially-distant, yet spiritually-connected time of refreshment with other women!
P.S. If you register, be sure to shoot me an email to let me know you did (moneysavingmom @ gmail.com)! I’d love to be on the lookout for you at the event — and I’m thinking about possibly doing some kind of meet-up, too!)
