Brigette’s $90 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!

I’ve been out of town most of the last two weeks, so it feels great to get back into grocery shopping and menu planning! I spent a little more than normal this week, but that’s what happens when you get back from vacation and there’s almost no food in the house. 😉
