That is everything that I picked up at Sprouts. I actually bought quite a bit this time. I haven't been in a couple of weeks and you know it's my favorite place to buy my produce and since I've really started cleaning up my diet, I'm buying a lot and I say a lot more produce. So let me show you what I picked up. First is some green onions. I actually needed this for a recipe and then I like to have green onions on my salad. They had Blackberry's three for $5, which is a really, really good deal. We ate all the fruit I bought at Sam's Club with the exception of some blueberries. So I did grab a few different fruits for the week including three packs of Blackberries. I needed some sliced mushrooms for a dinner recipe, some cherry tomatoes. This is for my lunch meal prep. I was almost out of onions. I think I have one onion left and these are $3 for a whole bag and I like that they're tearless. You really don't tear up when you cut them up which is kind of mind blowing and they're a really good sweet onion. They also had strawberries two for five. I only grabbed one though because I decided to pick up the Blackberries. So now I actually have Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and I think I have an apple or two as well. And then I did grab some zucchini and some yellow squash. I wanted these to roast up. I've been really liking roasted vegetables and just pre-roasting them, having them cooked, ready to go in my fridge and then I just add them to my meal. So it makes it really easy to get in my vegetables. And that's also why I grabbed the sweet potatoes already diced up. They were on clearance for $2. I am going to cook them up either today or tomorrow. So I'll get them cooked up, roast it up along with the squash and zucchini and that'll be a great vegetable like I said, just to have on hand and ready to go. I also did grab some salad mix for my meal prep and then Troy asked for salad so that he can start having some salads as well. Ready to eat at a mommy. This is in the frozen section at Sprout. It's so good. They're already peeled, ready to go. I thought I could add those to salads. I do wanna make some different bowls that have a protein, lots of vegetables in there and a carb and I thought that the edamame would be great and there's nine grams of protein per serving. So it's a really good source of protein. And then I grabbed some mini twist pretzels because on TikTok, I saw a recipe for these cookies, these protein cookies that you eat after you work out or when you need to boost a protein and she used pretzels in them. I'm gonna share them with you guys and next Wednesday is what I eat in a day. So stay tuned, you're not gonna wanna miss it. They sound amazing. So I grabbed a bag of pretzels. And then I saw these and I almost put them back because they were pretty pricey. It was $6.50 and you're getting five meat sticks but these are the snack mates for kids and these are pizza flavored. Two of these sticks is a serving and it's only 50 calorie and eight grams of protein. I thought that is amazing and the ingredients in here are so clean. Super, super clean. They're individually wrapped. You just tear them apart and it came with five sticks. So it's a little over a dollar a stick or a little over $2 per serving which I thought after thinking about it, it's not that bad because that's how much a protein bar costs and this is a nice clean, high protein snack. So I'm really excited for those. They also had chicken and apple. So if I like them, I'll pick up the chicken and apple as well. And then lastly, it sprouts. I grabbed some eggs. Like I said last week, I can't believe the price of eggs out of control. These ones are actually really good and I want to say this was $5.99 for 18 which is in this day and age, a really good price for eggs. So that is everything that I picked up is sprouts. And here's what I grabbed at Walmart. What's not shown is a case of Diet Coke, a case of Gatorade Zero for Troy and a case of water. Troy is not having Coors Light anymore. He is no longer drinking beer. I'll fill you guys in later on why that is the case. But I did grab those three beverages but he's currently putting them away in our garage refrigerator. The first thing I picked up are three new handhelds. These are so soft. They were $3 a piece and we actually need handhelds for our master bath. So I grabbed three of those and then Troy has been using a silk pillowcase and he doesn't like it. I don't know how you don't like a silk pillowcase but he doesn't. So I did grab just some regular pillowcases for him. He asked for sloppy joes this next week. I think I'm gonna just cook up a couple pounds of ground beef. That way we have lots of leftover. So I grabbed the big can of Manwich. I'm still picking up bits and pieces for my protein pudding recipe that's coming out this month and I wanted to have some of the no sugar added cherry pie filling. This is something I really like to add to protein pudding. A gallon of milk for Troy and then I did pick up some more pledge because we were completely out and we were also out of ketchup. So I grabbed the Heinz Simply. The shelves at my Walmart are really, really empty. I think it's because a lot of the snowbirds are back in Arizona and there's just a shortage. It seems like for a lot of things. So there weren't very many ketchup options. So I decided to grab the Simply. We were also completely out of sour cream and we always just have sour cream in our refrigerator. So I grabbed the Daisy Light and then two cans of cream of chicken soup. I had to get one healthy request and one 98% fat free. I wanted the healthy request but there was only one can left on the shelf. So a 98% fat free it is and this is for a dinner recipe. I have some avocados I need to use up. So I'm going to make up some guacamole. I can dip vegetables in this. I can use this as a spread on sandwiches, crackers, whatever I want to do with it. I'm actually thinking it would be really good on a rice cake. So I'm going to make up some guacamole. And then I needed Italian dressing seasoning packet for a dinner recipe. I went ahead and just grabbed two. It seems like a lot of the recipes I'm making lately require this. So that way I'll have an extra pack on hand. And speaking of packs, this dip mix is so good. We made this and loved it. This is the green onion dip mix. So I grabbed two. We have been eating a lot of fresh veggies and dip and I can make it with Greek yogurt, like mayonnaise, like sour cream, lots of options. And I'm telling you, if you can find this dip mix it's really delicious. And then I did grab some sliced pepper jack for me. I wanted some sliced cheese for breakfast sandwiches and I want to make some roll ups with that ham I picked up last week at Sam's Club. Three pounds of the 93% organic grass-fed grass-finished ground beef. I remember when this used to be $16, it's now almost $20, but it's still a really good deal because that's three pounds of organic beef. This is probably the best deal for ground beef, quality ground beef you're going to find at Walmart. Some hamburger buns for the sloppy Joe's this week. I probably won't have a bun. I'll just eat the meat mixture, but I know Troy will want a bun so I grabbed some hamburger buns. He also asked for some more of his light butter. I did share with you guys in last week's grocery haul that I'm just focusing on real butter. I'm no longer using light butter. I'm just having less of the real butter. It's just a cleaner approach for what I'm going for this year but he really enjoys the light butter so I picked up the country crop. And then Good Culture was not on sale at Sprouts and I was not going to pay $6 for a small tub when it's $4 at Fry's or Kroger's store. So I just grabbed the Shamrock Farms. Troy's also been eating cottage cheese so I'll have him eat this and I'll focus on finishing up the Good Culture. I also needed two cans of Crescent Rolls for a dinner recipe. They didn't have any reduced fat because again, shelves are completely wiped out so I just picked up the regular Crescent Rolls and then I did refill my Fairlife milk. I made a protein shake yesterday and used the rest of it. I share this a lot because do not drink almond milk for zero grams of protein when you can have a cup of Fairlife milk for 13 grams of protein. It's just one of those really simple swaps you can make to help get your protein in. I don't even have almond milk in my house. This is absolutely my go-to. And then I did grab some sugar-free popsicles for Troy. He asked for those. And then he also wanted a couple of boxes of cereal that had fiber. So I grabbed the Kashi Go. This is the Toasted Berry Crisp. There's actually nine grams of fiber in here. And then the fiber one, this is the Honey Cluster. This one has nine grams of fiber. So if you're also looking for high fiber cereals, these two are great options. And that's everything that I picked up this week from Walmart and Sprouts. Let's go ahead and jump into what's on my menu for dinners and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So here is what is on my menu for the week. So today, Saturday, we either go out for dinner, do takeout, eat leftovers. Tomorrow, Sunday, I'm making a stuffed crescent roll recipe. Monday, I'm doing a pepperoni pizza casserole. And you will see this recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. So again, make sure you're subscribed. Tuesday's leftovers, Wednesday's going to be sloppy joes. Thursday and Friday, we're gonna do leftovers. I'm finding that I need to prepare less meals during the week because we have plenty of leftovers. And we've been really good about eating them all up. So I'm going to allow myself a third leftover day each week. And then here's what you'll be seeing for meal prep on Monday. So for breakfast this week, I was going to make a cranberry orange bread, but there's no cranberries anywhere. I asked at both Sprouts and Walmart. They didn't have fresh frozen. So we're going to use mixed berries instead, but we're going to make a really good bread for breakfast. Lunch is going to be bacon burger bowls. I'm super excited about this. And then for dessert, I'm making protein brownies. Another recipe I'm really excited about. So again, stay tuned on Monday for all three recipes. Thank you for joining me for this week's grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing all the real whole healthy food that I picked up. We found some new snacks to try out. I'm really excited to share that protein cookie recipe with you guys. I'm really excited to try the protein cookie recipe and I'll be sharing that with you in next week's what I eat in a day.
