Brigette’s $111 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 6

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!

Last week I didn’t do a grocery post, but we had relatives in and out of our house for my husband’s ordination. I bought plenty of groceries for feeding extra people, plus we had family and friends who generously sent/gave food to us. This week we’ll be eating through those yummy leftovers — so there are many things listed on my meal plan which I didn’t buy at the store.
