We'd love to have you. So let's leave these crazies head on into the kitchen for the grocery haul. So here is my grocery haul for the week. I went ahead and shopped at my local fry store which is a broker store, found some amazing, amazing deals. So let's jump in. So the first thing I picked up are two packages of these little mini cherry turnovers. These are $1.15 for the little package. They're really good. They're the perfect size sweet treat. They're literally bite size. So I grabbed two packages of those and then I've heard really good things about this brand sweet Lawrence. So typically you buy this at health food stores like Whole Foods and it's really pricey. Well it was on sale for $4.99 and these are the pumpkin spice cookies. So really, really, really good ingredients. So I wanted to try those out. I thought that we would bake them up maybe for my boot camp group or for Tori and I for a little sweet treat but I have been dying to try this brand and since it was on sale I couldn't pass it out. I did pick up some rye bread. This is for my lunch meal prep. I also love rye bread and when I was picking this up I noticed that rye bread's only 80 calories a slice so that's really good for a whole slice of bread. I did get the deli swirl just for the fun look of it but I, like I said, love rye bread. And then for me I picked up the thin slice power seed. So I saw a TikTok talking about the Dave's Killer bread and the one with the green wrapper. I think it's the good seed. That one has quite a bit of sugar. This is the one they recommended that had less sugar plus really good ingredients. So I did pick that one up. Again, thin sliced power seed bread, 60 calories per slice and for deals. Let's talk about meat deals. There were eight times. So I stocked up. So the first thing I picked up is this two and a half pound of 93 seven ground beef for 9.59. Super, super good deal. And then look at this. This is 93 seven ground turkey, $1.90 a pound. I mean, that is just a killer deal. So I picked up two pounds and then I found this sliced chicken breast for 350 per package. Each packet is a pound. Again, just a really good deal. This is pre-sliced so it would be great for stir fries. You can even slice it up, put it on a salad, use it in a recipe that you have to slice up chicken for. So I picked up two pounds of that. And then also they had their 85.15 for 359. And you guys know I make sloppy joe spaghetti, things like that for Troy. So I grabbed two pounds of that at 350 per pound. Definitely check your meat section for markdowns, especially at Kroger stores. Either use it right away or throw it in the freezer. This was the last thing on the shelf of the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. I actually need this for my breakfast meal prep. So they had the fulfilled protein bars at the checkout. And I've actually never tried this one. This is chocolate salted. I love fulfilled bars so much. There are 150 calories, 15 grams of protein. And I am going to Hawaii here in less than two weeks. So I thought I would throw this in the arsenal of protein bars to bring. And then I did pick up some happy eggs. These were on sale for 3.99, which is a really good deal. I have a message into my local egg lady. I usually buy three dozen farm fresh eggs from her. She's waiting for the chickens to lay the remainder. And I need quite a bit of eggs for my meal prep. So I did go ahead and just pick up one dozen. And then for cheese, I actually needed light shredded mozzarella cheese for a recipe. I'm almost out of my reduced fat pepper jack from Sargento and they didn't have it, which normally they have it at Kroger stores. So I decided to get the thin sliced Colby Jack for myself. And then baby Swiss is for a dinner recipe this next week. Quite a bit of canned goods. I did need some tomato paste. Now, you know, I like to buy the tube typically, but the recipe actually calls for eight ounces, which is one full can. So I did go ahead and pick up the simple truth organic. And then I also needed a can of black beans. I always try to buy my beans and tomatoes organic if possible. They are typically on the dirty dozen. And then two cans of organic diced tomatoes for a recipe. Two cans of Manwich for Troy. Again, ground beef, Manwich, easy meal for him, especially when I am traveling. And then they have their cut green beans on sale for 69 cents a can. So I picked up three. I thought I would just put them in my pantry always to have an easy vegetable on hand. Two gallons of skim milk for Troy. He typically goes through a couple gallons per week. And then of course I picked up my favorite low-fat fair life milk. So Kroger stores have raw waters now. Typically I have to buy these at Sprouts and they were two for four at Kroger, which is cheaper than Sprouts. These are my two flavors that I like the most. Georgia peach and cucumber watermelon, 20 calories, two grams of sugar, lots of electrolytes, organic, and they taste really good. Kind of like a vitamin water, but better and much, much better ingredients. So I picked up two. I needed corn meal for my meal prep. I have an interesting meal prep coming your way. So stay tuned after the grocery haul for what you'll see in Monday's meal prep, including corn meal. And then I did grab some private selection wildflower honey turkey, not ham turkey for sandwiches. Troy used up all the lunch meat I picked up last week while I was in California. I did get a Caesar salad kit. This was on sale for $1.20. I'm going to have this for lunch today with some of the just bear chicken nuggets on top for some protein. If I buy reduced produce, I always eat it right away because it typically goes bad pretty quickly. And then from my nutrition conference this last weekend, I had a coupon for a free cauliflower pizza. Now I've never tried cauliflower before. Let me know down below if it's any good. I'm hoping it is, but I got the margarita pizza. They didn't have a lot of options at Kroger. So I went ahead and grabbed margarita. You can have half the pizza for 350 calories and it says it's an excellent source of protein. So the whole pizza would be 700 calories, 24 grams of protein or half the pizza's 12 grams. So not bad for pizza. And I was thinking I could even add more meat or protein to it as well. And then I didn't get a lot of produce this week because I still have apples from Costco and cuties left over in my fridge, as well as a few blueberries. So I just picked up a few things, peaches, because I love them and I need them in my life. And then I needed a fruit to top my yogurt bowls. So I usually don't use apples very often or oranges. So I grabbed some strawberries. These were on sale for $2.99. Green onions for a recipe, a couple of onions for some dinner recipes. And then lastly, some pre-cut up cubed butternut squash. This is for my breakfast meal prep. I also grabbed a 24 pack of Diet Coke for Troy. So that's everything that I picked up for the week. Let's jump into what's for dinner and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. Somehow I misplaced my little paper that I write out my recipes and meal plan for the week. So we're gonna go over it quickly with the actual recipe. I do offer a monthly meal plan in my Facebook group. That is where all of my recipes come from is the meal plan that I offer to you. So I chose a few recipes out of a September's meal plan for this week. So I am going to be making a slow cooker chili, a meatball casserole, and then Monday's meal prep, I'm going to do a butternut squash and sausage frittata. I'm actually really excited for this. Definitely a fall-inspired savory recipe. I'm also more than excited for this. Patty Meltzer, one of my favorite, favorite things to eat, and I'm gonna make a casserole. So cannot wait for that. That'll be my lunches for the week. And then for dessert or just a snack, I'm actually interested to see how this turns out. This is a brown butter cranberry pumpkin cornbread skillet. So it's kind of a savory snack or dessert. So we're gonna make that along with the other two recipes in Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for another weekly grocery haul.
