I shopped at both Walmart and Trader Joe's I have some fun new or new to me at least food finds that I'm really excited to share with you guys Plus a few fun things for Christmas and a really fun vlog miss video coming your way a little bit later this month So let's jump into this week's grocery haul before we do. This is currently happening She is the weirdest dog back to the grocery haul first. I picked up some pineapple bubbly This was on sale at Walmart and then there was actually another dollar off So it was just over $2 for an eight pack Which is a really good deal and then of course a restock of diet coke for Troy I did buy the stone fire non-crisps again. These are so good. I feel like every time I go to Walmart I have to pick these up. We're still working on that layer law Terafina dip from Costco And these are really good in there These are the garlic and cheese and you get a lot of these crackers for the points much more than if you bought the Trader Joe's version of the non-crisps So I do prefer the stone fire These are for Troy to little Knudsen cottage cheese doubles. These have the blueberry and the cottage cheese I don't know how bad they are in points. They're only a hundred and ten calories But I thought that this would be a good healthy snack for him And then new to me are these mini croissants from Thomas. He's playing mini croissants are so cute Look at the size of those and you can have three of them for 180 calories So I figured the points wouldn't be too bad, but of course they'll be here on the screen I thought this would be nice paired with some eggs Maybe some sausage for breakfast and then I also picked up the King's Hawaiian rolls This is for meal prep. You are not going to want to miss this week's meal prep because first of all We're using King's Hawaiian rolls and I just have some good stuff coming your way for meal prep So I picked those up. There was a lot of great deals on meat So I went ahead and stocked up one pound of 96 percent extra lean ground beef And then there was a couple of good deals on chicken These are just boneless skinless chicken breast and then chicken at tenders and they were all on sale So I'm just going to toss them in my freezer. They'll keep really well in there You can't pass it up when they're marked down Of course, I picked up another pack of the Sam's Choice chicken apple sausage whenever they're in stock I get them these freeze really really well So if you can score these in your area go ahead and pop them in the freezer They freeze great and then I needed some diced ham for a meal prep recipe Of course, I grabbed my organic happy eggs. These are my favorite eggs ever and they are such a great deal at Walmart We needed some sliced cheese So this is the great value mild cheddar cheese and then also a restock of the light shredded cheese from Trader Joe's for a vlog miss video, I'm going to be filming how I make and decorate my Famous sugar cookies. They are the cookies my entire family asks for every single year. They are absolutely incredible I will be filming the entire thing and sharing the recipe and I'll be filming that this next week So I bought everything I need number one starting with some fun new sprinkles These are a little crushed up candy canes and I'm also going to use these in a second Christmas recipe coming your way during vlogmas. So these are really cute makes it easy They're already crushed up and then in the clearance section of Walmart I saw this Starbucks peppermint mocha coffee I have heard that this is incredible and you guys know that I love peppermint anything So I grabbed it just to have it on hand to try it. It was $4 and 75 cents I don't know if these are new to Trader Joe's or if I've just never seen them But I love beets especially in my salad. So this is just cut beets in vinaigrette I had to grab it because I'm planning on having some salads for lunch this next week And then I did pick up a very small Squeezable light mayonnaise for Troy's lunches We are almost out of the primal kitchen mayo and I don't go to Costco for another week or two for my big stock Up so this will get us through and then for the cookies. I needed or I think I need food coloring I wasn't 100% sure but I didn't want to start the recipe and not have any food coloring And then I need almond extract actually for a couple of different recipes Like I said, I have some really fun Christmas baking recipes coming your way big bag of the Applegate chicken and maple breakfast sausage I've been liking having eggs and sausage for breakfast and I've been having the chicken apple But I really wanted breakfast sausage this whole bag was 999 Which is a great deal for Applegate farms and I think I will have that with eggs and Many croissants so I picked that up in the freezer section if you have it in your Walmart It's actually a killer deal because the small boxes are about four dollars and this is a 1.25 pound bag for 999 and then in the back here I wanted to show this to you guys because I was actually Pretty excited when I saw this at Walmart. So I have a real estate client closing on a house. She's a younger girl She's a single mom. It's her first house here in the next couple of weeks and her daughter loves Barbies So I want to show you this line of Barbies and I don't know if this is new, but I'm loving it These are the Barbie fashionistas and I don't know if you can tell but she's not a skinny mini Barbie Like back in the day when I was a kid She is a normal size woman Barbie and I love that and then on the back It's very awesome because it is a very diverse collection of Barbies You can see there's even some in a wheelchair, which is awesome There's African-American Barbies Asian Barbies just all different cultures men and women and I absolutely Positively love it. I think it's great We are being inclusive with Barbie instead of just the skinny mini version that I had as a kid So I picked this up for her five dollars at Walmart great deal for my salads. I wanted somebody in the pepper rings I haven't had these in a while and whenever I go to Subway I always get these on my sandwich. So I decided this would be great for sandwiches Salads and then for a recipe. I needed poppy seeds actually I think for a couple of recipes and this was only two dollars and fifty cents at Walmart And then I was going to get the Campbell's healthy request cream of mushroom soup They literally had all of their soups picked over so I don't know what that's all about But all I could find is this fat-free great value version Not a big fan of fat-free food, but it was the only thing I could find so I grabbed it And then also in the clearance section with the coffee is this can of corn just for 86 cents There's nothing wrong with it. It's not even dented. So I grabbed that big huge ginormous pack of paper plates 999 for 300 plates great deal And then lastly in the clearance section. I saw this menagerie to a limelight Pinot Grigio Three little bottles of wine for three dollars. So I grabbed this for Christmas I thought that it would just be great to have chilled as an option on Christmas eve or Christmas day And then Troy loves the I can't believe it's not butter. So the big tub at walmart is the best deal The small tub is about four dollars. This big tub is six dollars. So I grabbed that for him And then bread for his sandwiches next week He actually goes back to work after his medical procedure and he is having tuna fish sandwiches So some sourdough bread I also did a restock on queso for him for me and also for Christmas to go with those fun Trader Joe's shaped chips that I bought And then I was all out of cheese for salads and like I mentioned I wanted salads this next week So I went ahead and picked up some feta and then of course I just grabbed another container of the mini peppermint meringues before they are gone at Trader Joe's I love these and I finally found the lilies peppermint baking chips So of course I had to pick one of those up. I found these at walmart not in the baking aisle But instead these were in the center with all of the holiday baking things someone's at our house So everyone in this house is freaking out. So anyways, these were in the center aisle And then for my cookies one of my little secrets Believe it or not is I use the bitty crocker rich and creamy frosting. I use the cream cheese And the vanilla so I picked up one vanilla and two cream cheese I mix those together and that is the frosting I use for my cookies and everyone thinks I make it homemade They love it. They rave about it. It's a great shortcut like me. I'm not very good at making frosting So if you're like me, this is a great substitution and it is incredible on the sugar cookies I also restocked my almond milk. I was completely out and I love this almond milk It's really good and it's only one point for an entire cup and 30 calories Of course kombucha. They had the big bottle of gingerade at walmart for seven dollars This is the equivalent of three bottles. Each bottle is about three dollars So you actually save a couple dollars by buying the big bottle And of course before it's gone at trader joe's a couple more bottles of my favorite fall addition with the apple turmeric carrot and spices These are three dollars a piece at trader joe's flour for my cookies. Unfortunately, they didn't have any organic flour This was the best version that I could find so I picked that up And then it's been a minute since I've had poppables. I've been loving pedos as you guys know I still love pedos. I'm just waiting for my order to come in I do have a link down below for 20 off pedos. Try them you guys. They're amazing But I picked up poppables because I've been wanting chips and these are sea salt and vinegar I actually don't think I've ever tried this flavor. So I'm pretty excited Let me know down in the comments if you've had this sea salt and vinegar and if you liked it yogurt pretzels for tori's lunch He loves these and I have not bought these in a while So I'm going to bag these up and they will be part of his lunch this next week And then potatoes. So trader joe's has a new small business brand of organic potatoes So I picked those up. I need potatoes for several recipes this next week Everything else I have is produce. So a couple of oranges. This is for a breakfast recipe for meal prep I'm seriously so excited for my meal prep So stay tuned at the end of this video for my meal plan and my meal prep some broccoli for a recipe Some more organic raspberries because these were actually really good this last week Cranberries for my meal prep. So you can get an idea. We'll be doing something cranberry Carrots because I was completely out and I need these for two dinner recipes And then a restock of my favorite organic sweet onions again for several recipes this next week So that's it my friends. That is this week's grocery haul. So let's jump into meal plan and meal prep So here's this week's meal plan. This is the week of 12 12 through 12 18 By the end of this week, we are literally six days from christmas. That completely blows my mind But this week I have some great meals planned Of course today saturday isn't out to dinner support a local business frozen pizza whatever we decide to do Tomorrow, I'll be making a slow cooker scalloped ham and potatoes kind of that winter comfort food You will see this recipe in next week's what I eat today. So stay tuned for that Monday is a chicken and rice casserole one of my very favorite recipes Tuesday is always a leftover night because it's a jazzy size night Wednesday, I'm doing spaghetti and meatballs good old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs Thursday is cheese burger soup I've really been wanting soup with the cold weather So I try to incorporate a healthy low point low calorie soup recipe every week And this week is cheeseburger soup and then friday we'll do leftovers Only because we'll generally have quite a bit left over from the meals earlier in the week And for meal breakfast week, which I am so excited about breakfast is a cranberry orange loaf So this is kind of a sweet breakfast. I'm going to pair this though with something savory Maybe some sausage or some eggs as well as some additional fruit, but I can't wait for this recipe It screams the holidays lunch is ham and cheese sliders using those Hawaiian rolls This is just kind of a decadent what I think about when I think of unhealthy, but I'm making it healthy So I'm excited for that and then for dessert. I'm actually making a berry almond shortbread Cookie, which I'm excited for this too just to have these little small sweet treats on hand for the next week So that is meal prep.
