How I Grocery Shop 🍐🍗🥕🍓🥦

Published: Wed, 03/15/23

Here's what works for me.

I'm working my way through our pantries and freezers to see how far I can get before running out to do a big grocery haul. I'm very stocked up on meat right now, and I just picked up about $60 worth of fresh produce, so we're eating well and I've barely spent anything even though the month is almost half over.

When I do go shopping, it will look like this. The bill is big but we get a lot for our money and we have a lot of mouths to feed. Here's what a typical month looks like for us --->

I also bought pork roast.

When I was out grabbing the above mentioned produce, I found two big pork roasts marked down to $1.79/pound. I got two of them for just $8 each, and I intend to do this with them so that I can get four-five meals from each roast. Stretching meat this way is a huge money-saver!

Another huge money-saver for meat: I buy chicken legs at Costco or Sam's for $0.98/pound. They come in huge packages for about $5! We eat them all in one meal (it's on the menu for tonight!), along with fruits and veggies. This means that our whole family plus guests can eat a great dinner for about $12, (We'll be feeding 6 adults and 6 kids tonight.) Amazing. Here's how I usually make chicken legs. Sides I'm serving:

Green Beans
Baked Beans
Cream Cheese Corn
Oranges

While we're on the subject of meat, a dear friend picked up two rotisserie chickens for us yesterday. This is a common gift she gives us since she knows we have so many kids and often very full hands! She even pulls the meat off the bones for us because SHE IS AWESOME. Here's how we'll eat this wonderful chicken.

What's on your menu tonight?
