Shopping Loot
So today me and hubby went and did our weekly shopping trip. Now normally when we go shopping the bill is about $100 for the week, for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. We have always bought our kids that kiddy food kids love so much. The fruit roll ups, cookies, fruit chews, oreos, and the list goes on. Not this time though, me and hubby made a decision to not buy ANY of that crap anymore. So for snacks we decided on
- carrots with ranch dip
- organic apples with peanut butter
- low fat string cheese
- organic bananas
- dried cranberries
- low-fat yogurt
- homemade granola bars
- homemade apple bran muffins
- sharp cheddar
- homemade protein bars
- homemade trail mix
- natural air popped corn
My kids like all of the above so I think the switch will be fairly easy.
Now back to shopping, I couldn’t believe all the food we got for $40 bucks!
- 5 lb bag of red potatoes
- 3 lbs organic apples
- 2 lbs organic bananas
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 2 lbs broccoli
- 2 red bellpeppers
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 lb d’anjou pears
- 1 lb roma tomatoes
- bag of organic greens
- lettuce
- alfalfa sprouts
- 1 lb kiwis
- lb dried cranberries
- 3/4 lb organic wild rice
- 1/2 lb pecans
- huge can pumpkin puree
- yoplait delights parfait
- gogurts
- 18 pack eggs
- honey
- pickled jalapenos (pregnancy thing)
- bag of corn tostaditos
I did already have chicken at home, and bread and some other things but I bought the essentials.
Now about the organic apples and bananas. They smell and taste and look unbelievable. This is my first experience with organic produce. I am very pleased. I cant believe the difference between organic and non. It’s something I should have done a long time ago.
This week I have planned the following meals:
grilled chicken with broccoli crowns and wild rice
guajillo steak with pinto beans and corn
egg white omelets stuffed with veggies
chicken skillet with peppers and black beans
grilled chipotle chicken salad
pinto bean tostadas
Gonna go watch a movie with hubby.
