I was so excited that I got the roast marked down last week and we had a yummy dinner of roast and potatoes one night this past week.
We had stuffing mix that I got marked down, sausage marked down, eggs marked down, and cheese on sale and so I used it to make this new-to-us recipe, Simple Egg Bake. We served it with waffles and fruit for dinner one night this past week.
It was super simple and yummy!
I usually have salad + toast for lunch every day.
Or, sometimes, I do sliced fruit and veggies with cheese and toast or a hard boiled egg and toast. (Oh and I started eating dates every day for labor prep since I’ve only got 6-7 weeks left in this pregnancy!)
I was excited that apples were on sale for $0.98/lb again!
I was also excited that Pace salsa was on sale for $1.47/jar.s
I was excited to find some marked down pork to stick in the freezer. I like to use it in Italian dishes or to mix with ground beef for things like meat loaf and meat balls.
Cheese was on sale for $2.97 for 16 oz. with the digital coupon. I got two bags of cheese to stick in the freezer (I like to have a few bags of cheese in the freezer all the time) and the mozzarella cheese to have for lunches/snacks.
Here’s everything I got for $74 at Kroger.

Do you plan all this out before you go, or do you just buy discount stuff to stock up and also plan meals from when you get home?
Crystal Paine says
I always plan which digital coupons I’ll use ahead of time, but I never know what closeouts and markdowns they’ll have, so I stock up on whatever I know we’ll use that’s also a great deal and is within our grocery budget. I try to make sure we always have enough on hand to make 8-12 dinners at any given time + stuff for breakfasts/lunches.

Try pitting your dates and filling them with peanut butter, soooooo good! I have baby number six on the way here too and have just started eating them as well 🙂 I’m due in about 6-7 weeks as well! I’m hoping those dates don’t let me down 😉
Crystal Paine says
Yes! That’s what I did last pregnancy if I wanted to change things up. We’re currently out of PB so I’m just eating them as is until we get more. I also do Evening Primrose Oil + Red Raspberry Leaf tea and those three things together have seemed to work really well to help my births be smoother and my body to be well-prepped for birth!
