 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here. Today you are in store for a large weekly grocery haul. I went to Trader Joe's Walmart grocery pickup and Fred Meyer, which is also a Kroger store. And I have an amazing, amazing spectacular, phenomenal meal plan and meal prep in store for you. If you wanna see what I picked up for groceries for the upcoming week, take a quick glimpse at not only my meal plan but also what you will be seeing in Meal Prep Monday just stay tuned. So here's my little Trader Joe's haul. I didn't get a whole lot, but I wanted to share what I did pick up with you guys. So first I grabbed the Trader Joe's Halloween gummies. These are more for my husband and then whatever's left over we can give to the trick or treaters. So these are actually little individual packs. There is 20 of them in here and they are just gummies. And on the back, here's your nutritional information. I did figure out the points it is here on the screen. The good part is, is it is the ingredients honestly aren't too bad. So this is like a first snack slash gummy candy. So I thought, how fun would this be for the trick or treaters? So grab that. For my meal prep this week, I needed some dark sweet cherries. Now I count these as zero points. These are unsweetened unsulfur cherries. So literally they are just dried cherries. There's no added sugar. So I count these as zero. You count them as you see fit, but because there's no added sugar and this is just a dried fruit, I counted as zero plus. With dried fruit, I tend not to eat as many. So I think zero points for that is fair. I'm literally obsessed with the pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's. It's so good, literally so good. You can have two tablespoons for three points. It's well worth it, it's so good. I love this on the Western bagel pumpkin bagelettes. The bagelettes are only one point and you really only need one tablespoon of cream cheese. So it's a low point delicious snack. I am loving this. I'm gonna have to stock up before it's gone. I also needed some baby broccoli or broccolini for an upcoming dinner recipe. They don't actually sell this at Fred Meyer, so I picked it up at Trader Joe's. I'm loving these as well. These are the Trader Joe's pumpkin cranberry crisps. You can have 13 of these for three smart points and let me just tell you, these two things together is heaven. It is a little bit higher point snack, but so good together. I love these crisps. They have just that spiciness of the pumpkin sweetness of the cranberry, so good. So I've grabbed another box of those before they're gone. Another thing I'm probably gonna stock up on. And then two bags of Mixed Baby Kale. This is for my upcoming lunch recipe. You guys, wait till you see what I have in store for lunch prep, cannot wait. Also needed some shredded cabbage for a dinner recipe. And lastly, I just grabbed some Trader Joe's cage-free hard-boiled eggs. These are already shelled, peeled. They're nice just to have on hand for a quick easy snack, especially if you're just running out the door and wanna take a snack with you. So that is everything besides some flowers that I picked up at Trader Joe's. Next is my Walmart haul. So I just picked up a few things at Walmart. What isn't pictured is some Diet Coke and some Coke Zero for me, Diet Coke for my husband. So at Walmart, of course, I picked up two packages of the great value, fat-free shredded cheese. Fred Meyer does not carry fat-free cheese. They need to get on the ball, you guys. So I always pick it up at Walmart, plus it's really inexpensive. I wanna say it's less than $2 a package. So I've grabbed two of those. I have been trying every time I place an order to get the sugar-free chocolate fudge brownies and they never have them. So lo and behold, it showed up in today's order. So I have quite the delicious treat coming your way. I was just waiting for this brownie mix to get in. So one pack of the Pillsbury sugar-free brownie mix. Also grabbed another pack of my all-time favorite sausages in the world, you guys. These sausages are so good. Great ingredients, all-natural, they're even Whole30 approved. That's how great of ingredients these have. Two smart points per link, huge link for two smart points. So picked up another pack just to throw in the freezer. Caramel bits by Kraft. So these are really cool, look at these. They're little teeny bits of caramel. These are great to add to desserts and you can add just a little bit and get that nice, caramel-y mix in your dessert. So I'll put these points, of course, here on the screen for you, but I grabbed these because they don't have them at Fred Meyer and with the holidays and fall baking coming down the pipe. I wanted to make sure that I have these on hand. Also picked up quite a few marinades because I have some recipes with marinated chicken coming as well. So I grabbed one of the Gromates, tomato, garlic and basil, brown sugar bourbon and garlic, herb and wine. Oh, this one's really good, but they're actually all really, really good. I like to just have these on hand for quick, easy, fast ways to prepare dinner. So picked the three packs, four cans of cut green beans for my dogs. You know we give them these instead of table scraps. I literally just rinse these and drain these because I don't want to give them the salt. That's in green beans, but these last a long time. They don't know the difference. They look forward to them. So grab four cans just to kind of stock up on that. Another pack of my new favorite chocolate chips. These are the Bake Believe semi-sweet with 40% or 45% cacao. These are all natural, stevia-sweetened baking chips. You guys, these are awesome. Full-size, big chocolate chips. I love them. I have them in my triple threat, triple chocolate muffin in meal prep last week. Oh my gosh, they're delicious. So I grabbed another bag just before Walmart doesn't have them anymore. And again, baking season is upon us. So I grabbed that. Big jar of manzilla olives for my husband. He's obsessed, obsessed with green olives. So this was a great buy at Walmart. And then lastly, just a can of 100% pure pumpkin. Again, baking season is here, my friends. This is the least expensive pumpkin I can find by about half. Tastes delicious. So I grabbed that. So that is everything from Walmart. And now let's move into my Fred Meyer Kroger Hall. So here is my Fred Meyer Kroger Hall. All that is missing is a case of water. So let me show you some non-food items. So Fred Meyer was having a great deal on their home decor. It was 20% off, plus another 20% off with their digital coupon. So I got this really cute give thanks sign. You can see that it's burlap. It is so cute. I'm actually going to be putting this in my spare bathroom. I just love it. I think it's adorable. I also got some new powder. This is the L'Oreal True Match. And I'm in the shade Warm Beige. And I'm sorry, Warm Nude. And this is one of my favorite powders. It's so great. And they actually had a coupon on this as well. So I grabbed that. Underneath here is this beautiful woven circular mat. This is actually for my kitchen table to go under my Halloween decor. I'm obsessed, you guys. And it was like less than $2 with all their coupons. So I definitely had to pick that up. I needed a new razor and they had a great deal. You actually got the razor and all the refills. This is the Chic Quattro for Women for $4.99. That's a great deal. So I grabbed that. And then also I did grab some gum. I guess that's a food item. But they did have their Trident Vibes gum on sale for $1.50. So this is the Tropical Beat Yummy. So I grabbed this just to keep in my car for those times that I'm just craving some gum. And then I got some reduced sugar craisens. These are the Ocean Spray 50% less sugar. This is for my upcoming recipes. You guys, I am making some amazing recipes this week. You're going to see my entire meal plan and meal prep at the end of this video. So stay tuned. So I needed some of the less sugar craisens for that. Turkey pepperoni. We are going to be having pizza Sunday night for dinner. I'm finally going to try that butternut squash pizza crust from Trader Joe's. So I grabbed some turkey pepperoni for my pizza. I'm excited to try that crust. I've heard great things about it. So I'm going to be making a pepperoni pizza. Also they had a steel price on the Laura's Lean Beef. This is 92.8. So basically it's pretty close to 93.7 points wise. The entire pound was 5.99. You can't pass it up. This is awesome ground beef. No hormones ever, no antibiotics, and it's gluten free. It is pretty awesome hamburger. I couldn't pass it up for the price. So I grabbed two pounds of that. I did pick up just some regular shredded mild cheddar cheese. This is mainly for my husband. He wants tacos this week for lunch. So I always get a big bag. This is the four-cut package for his tacos but I thought I would show you in case you were interested in the points on just regular full fat shredded cheese. Speaking of cheese, I also grabbed some provolone, smoked provolone slices. More for my husband. We're having a Philly cheesesteak bowl. I can't wait for that. That calls for provolone cheese. I will probably use mozzarella or a leaner lesser point cheese but I got the provolone for my husband. This was the free Friday download. This is the Yoplait protein and this is the raspberry. It has 15 grams of protein. The points I thought might be kind of high because there is a decent amount of sugar in here but I will of course have them on the screen and worst case, this can go into my husband's lunch and we'll see how he likes it as far as yogurt goes. Of course, fat free ready whip guaranteed. Gotta have every single week so I picked that up. Campbell's beef broth. This is for an upcoming dinner recipe. I only needed a small amount so I just opted for the can instead of the big 32 ounce box. I also needed some salsa for an upcoming recipe and this is the Kroger thick and chunky mild. This is great salsa and I wanna say it was $1.25. So if you're looking for a mild, good salsa the Kroger brand is really, really good. Some low fat buttermilk. This also is for an upcoming recipe. I end up throwing a lot of this away because I don't use it other than in the particular recipe. So if you guys know a good use for buttermilk so I'm not wasting it, please let me know. Although this is only 99 cents it's still, it's hard for me to throw food away. So buttermilk for a recipe and of course two more containers of my coffee mate, sugar-free peppermint mocha. You know, this is my all-time favorite creamer for the holidays. Again, I throw this in the freezer. I will stock my freezer with at least a dozen of these and then I have them throughout the entire year. So I generally pick up a few every time I do my grocery shopping. So two more to add to my stash and then I spent a little time in the bulk section. So whenever I'm looking for nuts basically for a recipe or two recipes and I don't wanna buy a $10 bag I go to the bulk section. So I grabbed some roasted and salted pumpkin seeds. This is for a dinner, I believe actually no this is for a lunch recipe and I wanna say this was less than $2. So it's just better to go to the bulk section for spices and nuts that you just don't need a whole lot of. Again, I don't like to waste so that keeps it less wasteful. I also grabbed some walnuts out of the bulk section. Again, this is for my lunch recipe and just some raw all-natural almonds which is again for my lunch. So I spent less on all these nuts than I would have spent on one package of one kind. So definitely check out your store's bulk section. Grab another pack of my bird's eye veggie made mac and cheese. This has been a lifesaver you guys when I am out late showing houses or at, oh my God, almost a body pump at jazzer size and I don't get home till like 530 quarter to six. This has been a lifesaver. I throw this in the microwave. I eat one serving of it with some zero point chicken and it's just been truly a lifesaver. So I just got another bag to throw into my freezer. Also, I got some thin cut chicken breasts. I have a regular chicken breast but I needed thin cut for a recipe and I didn't wanna have to cut the really thick ones myself. So just some frozen thin cut chicken breasts. I got some hamburger buns because I am making a recipe where we are doing a mock fried chicken sandwich. I can't wait for that you guys. So these buns were the lowest that I could find at my store. Unfortunately, none of my stores have the 80 calorie buttons that I see all over YouTube and Instagram. So I'm stuck with the lowest that I can find as far as what my store carries. So these are the Kroger just white hamburger buns. The rest is veggies and produce. So speaking of veggies, cauliflower medley, frozen rice veggies. This is for a upcoming dinner recipe. These are all for dinners as well. Some mushrooms, the peaches are not for dinner. They were 99 cents a pound. So I grabbed three more of the white peaches. I've been loving these, so good. A couple of the limes, a lemon, three peppers and three colors for the Philly cheese steak bowl and a couple of onions. So this is everything that I picked up at Fred Meyer or Kroger. Now let's get into my meal plan and what I am doing for meal prep. So let's get into this week's meal plan and meal prep. So of course I'm using my Keriel meal planner. I love this meal planner. It is beautiful, comprehensive. It is so nice. It lasts over a year. And this, my friends, is what is going to help you stay on track and plan your meals. So I have the eight and a half by 11. There is a smaller version of the meal planner as well. There is also a digital version. So I'm gonna show you the eight and a half by 11. There are several tabs. There's the resources tab, which is where you can track your favorite recipes and recipe websites, blogs, you name it. You can keep a note of that here. There's also the inventory tab where you can inventory your freezer. You can also inventory your pantry and also your spices. So just a nice way to keep track of what you have and the expiration date. The meal plans tab. We're gonna go ahead and come back to that one. That's where we're gonna be spending some time. And then I also have the gatherings tab. So this is coming in handy this time of year for sure. As the holidays approach, we have several gatherings that we need to plan. Whether it be a Halloween party or Thanksgiving or Christmas, this is where you do that. You plan out what meals you are making and what you're having. And then there is a detachable grocery list here. You detach it and take it with you to the grocery store. So it really just truly makes everything so easy. And lastly, there is the blue tab, which is for your notes. So I generally jot down recipes or things that I want to remember. And before we hit the meal plan tab in the back, double-sided are these cute little pockets. So these are just nice to have to toss your favorite things in. So let's go ahead and go back to the meal plans tab. In the meal plan tab, you're going to see a monthly calendar for every month. You can go ahead and jot down what is on your menu. That way the night before, you can double-check and make sure that you have all of the ingredients, but that you also have everything de-unthought from the freezer, chicken, fish, whatever it is that you're making. So this is a super duper nice feature. And then there is also a weekly menu for every week. So you can jot down dates. You can actually plan all three of your meals if that's what you want to do. I generally plan just my dinners in this section because I do meal prep. So I generally have the same breakfast and lunch each day. And then there is a detachable grocery list as well. And it is always missing because that is my grocery list for the store. So for this week, this is my meal plan. And my week goes Saturday through Friday. So essentially 10, five through 10, 11. So on Saturday, as you know, that is the day that I use my weeklies. So I'm going to be going out to dinner, lunch. I'm not sure what, I actually have two open houses. So whatever my schedule permits. Sunday, I'm going to be making pizza. And again, that is that butternut squash crust from Trader Joe's. I'll definitely report back on that. Monday, I'm gonna be making some vegetarian taco pockets. So you guys will see this in an upcoming video. Tuesday is chicken cobbler comfort food for the family coming up. Wednesday, I am in the air fryer. I am making those fried chicken sandwiches and fries. I cannot wait for this. This is a dupe on the greasy point heavy fried chicken sandwich from the fast food restaurant. And this one is point friendly. So really excited for that. And then those Philly cheese steak bowls that I've been raving about during my grocery haul. And then of course on Friday, I leave for Vegas for my meetup with my Facebook group. Cannot wait. So on the back of the weekly menu is where I will do my meal prep. And then that way I know exactly what I need to prep for the upcoming week. So this next week, I'm so excited. I'm gonna be doing pumpkin chocolate chip baked oatmeal. So this is similar to that banana blueberry strawberry baked oatmeal that I did during the summer. This is fall festive delicious with a spin of chocolate baked oatmeal. So you'll see that in meal prep on Monday. For lunches, I'm really excited about this. I'm gonna be making a copycat Chick-fil-A super food salad. So that is that salad with kale and the nuts and the dried fruit that is so point heavy from Chick-fil-A. I'm gonna be making a point friendly version. So I am stoked about that. And then I'm just going to marinate some chicken, some thin slice chicken breasts that you saw in my haul with one of those cute little marinade packets from McCormick. And then I'm really excited about this. I'm gonna be making sheet pan maple cinnamon trail mix. I have been craving trail mix and trail mix is so high in points. You get such a small amount for the point that this is going to be a great dupe for that. And my other thought for this was I can actually take this with me to Vegas so that it helps me have a snack to stay on track. So stay tuned for all three of these in meal prep Monday. So that is my meal plan. This is my carry on meal planner. If you're interested in picking one up, highly recommend. I do have a 10% off discount code for you. It is here on the screen. That is good for any meal planner, including the digital version. So if you wanna follow along with me, prep your meal, stay on track, be nice and organized, pick yourself up the carry on meal planner. Thank you for joining me on another weekly WW grocery haul.
