Brigette’s $42 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 6

After 19 days of traveling (and 51 hours of driving time!), it feels great to be home! In full disclosure, I went to the grocery store as soon as we got back on Friday and that particular (LARGE) trip wasn’t posted here as there were too many other things to do. 🙂 So my total is lower than usual this week, but it’s helping to balance out that post-vacation grocery trip from last week!
