Gretchen’s $101 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 6

I went to several stores this week to score the best deals! I’m grateful that all of these stores are pretty much within a one-mile radius of each other so it doesn’t cost a ton in gas money to shop at each of them. I’ve honestly been pretty disappointed in our Aldi recently as I’m finding their prices are almost the same or more than the deals at our local stores. Plus, they are out of a LOT of produce and meat every time I go. So I’m trying to spend more time looking for deals elsewhere.

Publix

The deals at Publix this week were super amazing! I feel like we are well stocked up for the first few weeks of school lunches now.
