Aldi
Our Aldi was pretty picked over, and I wasn’t able to get a number of the things on my list. We will be relying on some of our freezer stash of meat this week (mostly venison) as any version of chicken or beef was unavailable. Hopefully next week there will be more selection – or we will just eat lots of rice and beans. 🙂

Sarah says
We’ve been battling a stomach bug this week in our house, so those oat muffins sound perfect! Something a bit different from plain applesauce and oatmeal but not over the top! Your menu sounds delish otherwise.
Brigette Shevy says
Oh no! Stomach bugs are awful. I hope you feel better soon.
Becky says
You did great!
Brigette Shevy says
Yes, I’ve been hearing horror stories about grocery shopping – so I’m thankful!
