Intentional finance. Intentional family. Intentional business.

Here's what's new:

Aldi, Sprouts, Big Lots, and Kroger Shopping Trips + Our Weekly Menu Plan

Want to see what we bought for this week’s $70 grocery budget? I’m currently challenging myself to stick with a $70 budget for our family of five. This includes almost all of our breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners + most household products (toiletries, laundry soap, etc.).

For live updates, be sure to follow my Instagram Stories. See all posts on my $70 Grocery Budget here.

I finally made it to Sprouts on a Wednesday!! If you’re unfamiliar with Sprouts’ sales cycles, they have overlapping sales on Wednesdays — which means you can get the sales from the last week + the sales from the coming week on Wednesdays!

They had some great produce deals that I stocked up on:

Sprouts Shopping Trip

6 packages of strawberries — $1.25 each
3 Cantaloupe — $0.99 each
2 Pineapple — $0.98 each
Sprouts Chocolate Chip cookies — used free coupon
Total with tax: $13.24

Did you get your freebies from Sprouts? If not, be sure to sign up for them here.

I was SO excited to find so many good clearance deals at BigLots when I went on Wednesday!!

My biggest score? Boxes of Kodiak Cakes for $0.75 each!!! Jesse loves these and he was super thrilled at this score!
