Gretchen’s $133 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 5

I skipped grocery shopping last week and stretched what we had in our cabinets/freezer to last for 2 weeks. So we were a bit low on lots of stuff this week and I went to several stores so I could stock up. The best part of where I live is that I can drive to one intersection and all these stores are there so I don’t have to drive all over town to get all the best deals.
