Last Week’s $79 Grocery Shopping Trip (+ what we ate)

I had been under budget multiple weeks over the past few months and had been hoping for a week with great deals so I could use some of the extra money I had set aside from being under budget. I was so excited that I found some great deals this past week — perfect to be able to use up that extra money!

I was excited about the Post cereal deal and the cheese deal this week!

I also found lots and lots of markdowns — including all of these Probiotic drinks marked down to $0.99!

Here’s what I ended up getting — for $79 total!

These Ground Up snacks were marked down to $0.69 each and are yummy!

I was excited to find some meat markdowns!

Lunch!

I used what I had on hand to make Spaghetti Pies.

We hadn’t had this recipe in awhile and I forgot how delicious it was!

I bought these marked down and we added chicken to them for dinner one night.

And, of course, we had breakfast for dinner one night — waffles and bacon!

I used what I had on hand to make a Chicken Tetrazinni of sorts.

Instead of cream soup, I made a white sauce. And instead of spaghetti noodles, I used veggie rotini.

I layered it all in a pan and baked it. It was so good!

I’ve been using marked down spinach I got last week to make Green Smoothies (I’ve been subbing milk instead of yogurt and almond milk).

Instead of a salad, I had fried eggs, avocado, cheese, blueberries, and toast today. Yum!
