So the first part of my haul this week is from Trader Joe's. I made a quick run over when Lola had chemo on Monday and picked up some staples. So let me show you what I picked up from Trader Joe's. So first is flowers. You guys already know. I love having these fresh flowers. They're so affordable. And the ones I bought over a month ago, actually, you can see them yellow right over there on my kitchen table. They actually honestly look pretty good. They're starting to get a little bit crusty so it's time to swap them out. So I picked these up. I thought these were absolutely beautiful. I did a restock of the strawberry muffins. Troy really, really, really likes these. They're gluten-free and he had no idea. He loved them. So highly recommend. I know that they are seasonal. So if you want to try them out, grab them before they're gone. And then I did pick up another bag of one of my favorite things, the Cascio de Pepe Puffs. These are like a corn cheesy peppery puff. I love them. And then my favorite crackers, as you know, are the multigrain crackers. I love these with tuna fish, cheese and crackers, really just about anything. Some light shredded cheese because this is something we always buy at Trader Joe's. I would have got mozzarella too, but we have a full bag in the fridge. And then I picked up these. These are a summer seasonal chip. I love these so much. It says a mixed bag of sea salt and vinegar, delicious dill, homestyle ketchup and smoked and sweet barbecue chips. It's like a hodgepodge of different chips. It's so good. I'm gonna put these out for 4th of July. And then I did pick up a protein bar. This is one of my all time favorites from the brand Fuffill. This is the salted caramel. They sell them singly at Trader Joe's, so I always pick one up. I grabbed some ham because we already went through all of the lunch meat that we bought at Sam's Club. And I love having a half of a sandwich or a sandwich for lunch. I grabbed the hash brown potatoes for Troy. He loves having those for breakfast. I love putting them in the toaster. You put them in the toaster four or five times. They get nice and crispy. I did pick up a lot of dried fruit, which is something I always buy at Trader Joe's. I have two bags of the Candied Uncrystallized Ginger. I always take a little piece of ginger after I eat a meal. It just really, really helps me with digestion. And the ones at Trader Joe's are my favorite. I also got some dried pineapple. All this is is pineapple. No sugar added, so this is zero points. This is seasonal. They don't have the pineapple all the time, but it looked really, really good. And then of course, of course, I already ate some as a snack, soft and juicy. Mango, I picked up three packs. That is really my favorite, favorite thing from Trader Joe's. I also counted as zero points because it has to say macros as regular mango. Two spices to restock. I grabbed basil and I grabbed cumin. These are $1.99 a piece. Killer, killer deal. And then I always grab the seasonal candle. It is mango tangerine and it smells amazing. Some dog treats, they had, this was new crab paws. So these are soft baked crab flavor treats. I know my dogs are gonna love them. Love the artwork on that. I got their Better Than Leftovers. They love these. They're super, super soft. And then I got the organic chicken and brown rice sticks. And then for fruit, just some blackberries and some pineapple. I've been really craving cottage cheese with pineapple. So I grabbed some pre-cut up pineapple. So that is everything that I picked up from Trader Joe's. Let's jump into the rest of the haul. So the remainder of my grocery haul is actually from fries, which is a Kroger store. So let me show you what I picked up. They had their Thomas English muffins by one get one free. So I grabbed mine, which are the cinnamon protein. I really like these very light on the cinnamon. So I can still use these for savory breakfast sandwiches, but you're getting eight grams of protein. So I really liked those. And then I picked up the sourdough for Troy. He likes to make breakfast sandwiches. And then I always scour the meat department to see if there's any good deals. And I found their 91% simple truth natural ground beef, no antibiotics for 450 a pound, normally 850 a pound. So I bought everything they had, which was five one pound packages. I just throw this into my freezer. It's such a great deal if you can find reduced meat, as long as you cook it quickly or freeze it. Two gallons of 1% milk for Troy so that he can have his cereal. And then we actually finished all the just bear chicken strips that we bought at Sam's Club. I will be restocking next time I go. But for the meantime, I found the simple truth, lightly coated chicken breast bites. These actually have 16 grams of protein and they were only 120 calories per serving. That's even lower than just bear. I think just bears 160. So I'm gonna try these. I really like having these in wraps or on my salad. I did grab some fresh mozzarella because I'm going to be making a pasta salad for Troy. It's a new recipe. It's kind of a Greek inspired pasta salad and it called for mozzarella. I needed a little teeny diced ham for my breakfast meal prep. I will be sharing with you what's on my menu for dinners and meal prep after the grocery haul. So stay tuned for that. For that pasta salad, it called for hard salami. So I got these little rounds. I thought that I could either cut these in half or quarter these for the pasta salad. Can of corn, this is for my lunch meal prep. And then I restocked my favorite sugar-free bread and butter chips. These are so good. They taste just like regular bread and butter pickles but they are sugar-free. They are zero calories, zero points. Pasta salad called for Kalamata olives. So I grabbed pitted from the brand Pearls. And then Troy asked for a refill on ranch. And I found this simply ranch. It's only 50 calories per serving and there's only one gram of sugar. So this is something I would eat as well. And you know, we've been doing a lot of salads lately. I also picked up my chocolate and my low-fat Fairlife milk. This is for Ninja Creamy ice cream. I use Fairlife milk in all of my protein shades, all of my cooking for the added protein. Then just a ton of produce. We're really upping our veggie game and fruit game this month. So I grabbed some baby spinach. This is for my meal prep as well as for salads. I needed peaches for my meal prep. A red onion, a couple of lemons for water. And then I needed a lime for a meal prep recipe as well. I picked up some fresh strawberries for me just to have as a fruit this week. And then I actually grabbed two bags of the Simple Truth Organic frozen raspberries. This is for my dessert for my meal prep this next week. Cilantro and fresh parsley for a recipe. A big bag of avocados. I've been eating avocado literally every single day. Some green onions for a recipe and some salads. And then I actually picked up yellow squash and zucchini. I'm going to roast up some squash and zucchini for a side for an added punch of vegetables for a dinner this week. So that is everything that I picked up from Kroger. Let's jump into what's on my menu for dinners and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So here's what's on my menu for the week. So today, Saturday, we always go out for dinner or do takeout. Tomorrow, Sunday, Troy wants a salad. And I don't know what kind of salad we'll make, but we've been doing really big salads packed with lots of vegetables. And then on Monday, we're doing chicken burgers with avocado corn salsa. You guys will actually see this recipe in next Wednesday's What I Eat in a Day, Tuesday's leftovers. Wednesday, I'm making that pasta salad that I bought the Olive Salami mozzarella for. And then we'll do leftovers Thursday and Friday so we can finish up everything from the week. Here's what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. So for breakfast, I'm doing a cheddar ham oven omelet. So I'm basically making an omelet in my oven packed with protein. And then for lunch, we're gonna do a salad. I told you I've been on a big salad cake but we're doing a peach spinach salad. And then I'm making raspberry bars. These are like raspberry oat bars that you get at a bakery. Super excited for that. So stay tuned on Monday for all three recipes. Thank you for joining me for this week's grocery haul.
