 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and today is Saturday, so it's grocery haul day. And I have a big haul for you because I've been out of town and I need to restock my healthy options to get my fridge filled up with fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and of course I found some really fun snacks. So if you're excited, give this video a big thumbs up, subscribe if you're not, turn your bell on because I do a grocery haul every Saturday and I actually upload five videos every single week. Don't forget to check out the description box down below where you will find nutrition coaching. I do offer personalized to you macros and calories. Highly, highly recommend. This is how I have lost and maintained a 140 pound weight loss as well as one-on-one coaching for accountability to ask questions or talk with me directly. Lease and discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group are also down in that description box. So let's jump in to the grocery haul. I know I'm going to get some questions on my glasses. Aren't these fun? I love the green front and the tortoise side. I am at the stage of my life where when I'm working on my computer or looking at my phone for a long period of time, trying to read a menu, trying to read ingredients on things, I need glasses. I actually have progressive lenses. That's how badly I need glasses. So I decided to go ahead and pick myself up a few new pairs of glasses. I've been trying to wear them more often, also at night when I'm driving. So I wanted to have glasses in my office, in my purse, in my kitchen, and then a spare set as well. So my super adorable glasses are from the online glasses brand called Phi2. They have the most fun, trendy, unique frames. You can pick up the glasses with a prescription or without a prescription. If you just like to wear glasses for aesthetic reasons or fashion reasons, you can get them with just plain lenses. And if you're like me and you can't read anything because you're old, you need to get glasses that actually have your prescription lens. This is the first pair that I picked up. These are the noise glasses. The frames are only $15.95, and they actually come in several color combinations. It's a square frame that's lightweight and is really comfortable to wear. They have a little bit of a retro look to them with a hint of modern elements. I love them. I think they're super cute. I also love all the packaging, like I showed in the clip. All the pair, all the glasses come in their own little bag which you can use to clean the lenses. And then they also come with a lens cleaner as well. So every single one, I very much appreciate that because like I said, I like to keep my glasses in different places in my home and in my car, in my purse, and that way they're protected and I'm able to clean on the go. And then I wanted a pair of clear. I love a good transparent glass because it goes with everything. I think these frames are super cute and transparent and clear frames are super on trend right now. These are the bezel frames. They are only $18.95 and they actually come in different colors if you weren't interested in the transparent. This frame has a very modern feel. They're kind of a geometric glass with a super lightweight plastic material. It has a frosty colored front and flexible temple arms to keep you comfortable. And I also like them because they fit in everyday look. Like I said, they go with everything. These are super, super cute and on trend. And then I thought these were cute. Just for something a little bit smaller, I do like a big frame. I like big frame sunglasses, big frame glasses, but I thought these were cute. These are the Burr Tram. The frame itself is $25.95 and it actually comes in the tortoise and clear. So if you like the smaller frame, it comes in clear as well. This is made of acid, a high quality acetate metal. They're round glasses and they add a touch of fun. They're simple and like I said, a smaller sized frame and I chose the tortoise. And then lastly, because I love pink and I had to do it, I picked up these frames. They are pink and they have this white emblem on the side. I actually just hopped on their website and these are no longer available so I don't know if they're discontinued, but they do have another one that's fairly similar to these if you like the pink. It just has a clear inner frame and a pink etching. These are the Lilia and these are $28.95 and they actually come in multiple different colors. These definitely add a little bit of a vintage flair and I am here for it. So maybe these will come back in stock. I'll link these down below and I'll link the other pair that I found that are fairly similar. So those are the four pairs of glasses from Vi2 that I picked up. I wanna tell you a little bit about how it works because it's always a little bit nerve wracking to buy glasses online. Number one, how are they going to look on you? Are they going to get your prescription right? What information do they need? Do you have the information? But it was so incredibly easy to order on Vi2. They shipped quickly and the quality, the quality of the frames alone are frames that would cost hundreds of dollars at your local eye doctor. And again, I have mine matched my prescription but you can just get plain lenses as well. They have blue light blocking lenses. They have lenses for sunglasses. They have lenses for the sun, polarized, tinted and more. So you have quite a variety of options for the lenses. They offer free standard shipping on orders of $59 or more. They always offer Bogo frames. They have a 30 day easy return in exchange policy and 100% secure checkout. You do have the opportunity as well to earn points towards coupons and future purchases. They offer eyeglasses, sunglasses, clear, round, rimless and clip-on. And they offer glasses for men, women and kids. They even have a cool try-on feature on their website. This is why you can feel confident in purchasing glasses from Vy2 Online. You simply upload a picture of yourself and you can try all the different frames on to see which ones flatter your face shape and your style most. They are going to give you recommendations for specific lenses that you can choose, color options and every order is going to come with a free gift. You get the eyeglass pouch, two cleansing cloths, a brochure about your glasses, a PD ruler if needed and a screwdriver to adjust your glasses also as needed. Their website is very user-friendly and again they do have that money-back guarantee and free shipping. All four pairs of my glasses is less than the cost of one pair from my local eye doctor. And the quality like I said is incredible. So I am going to link all of the pairs that I have down below for you. I will link this pair even though it wasn't available on the website and the alternative for that. I'll link the website directly and have a very special discount for you as well. That will be down in the description box. So definitely check out PHY2 for some fun, trendy glasses. So I have a huge haul this week returning from vacation and stocking up on everything that we needed. So this week I actually shopped Apple's Walmart and Sprout. So let me show you what I picked up. We'll go ahead and start with Sprout since it is a much smaller haul than Walmart. I was so excited that they had all of their Christmas stuff out. I didn't buy a lot. Don't worry, there's much more coming into my life over the holiday season. But I love the Choco Love brand. They're just a lower carb, lower sugar, really good ingredient chocolate. And they have the peppermint cream. They're these cute little trees. You can have three of them for 130 calories. It's 55% dark chocolate. I thought this would be perfect for a sweet treat. Just one of these after dinner. Kind of give you the minty vibe but also a sweet treat. So I was so excited to see those. Like I said, they had a lot of holiday stuff. I'm just pacing myself. And then I also picked these up. These were on sale probably for fall. These are from the brand Acapella and these are the pumpkin pie caramels with real pumpkin and fresh spices. So I thought that that sounded really good. Two of them, 110 calories. They're coated in chocolate. They have pumpkin in the middle. Nice clean ingredients. I'm really excited for those. I wanna say they were 350 on sale. And then I love the Pinaff brand. I actually got these at a conference and fell in love with these. These are the peanut puffs. They're made from navy beans, rice and peanuts. Servings 130 calories and there's actually five grams of protein. They're gluten-free, non-GMO vegan. They're a complete plant protein and a good source of fiber with no artificial ingredients. I really like these. If you like the Trader Joe's bombas, these are very, very similar tasting. Just better ingredients and they have some protein. And then one other holiday goodie. I buy these every year. I'll be buying several. It's my favorite. Again, from the brand, Chocolate Love XOXO. This is the candy cane chocolate and dark chocolate. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. If you love candy canes, if you love peppermint, really these two things, it's giving me all the Christmas feels. I also got some shelled pistachios in the bulk section. I've been liking putting roasted pistachios on my yogurt bowl and my oatmeal. So I grabbed those and then I also picked up my favorite pre-cooked shredded chicken. This is all white meat chicken. So it's actually zero points. For me, it's convenient. It's easy. I know it's expensive. I do not care. It makes my life so much easier. It's cooked, it's shredded. It's ready to go. And I am so busy returning from my trip that this is just going to save me a lot of time. So I picked that up. I also did grab a bottle of kombucha at the ginger berry. I was actually looking for the fall flavor. They didn't have it. I've been trying to drink a half a bottle of kombucha a couple of times a week just to help with gut health, probiotics, prebiotics, and the synergy brand from GTs is my favorite. And I do really like the ginger berry. And then I was excited about this. So this is from the brand Good Karma. This is their plant-based holiday nog. I have a really exciting recipe coming your guys' way. I'll probably share it into what I eat in a day, but I'm gonna do a big post in my Facebook group. It's an egg nog protein shake. And I needed nog for that. So I grabbed this because it's only 45 calories for half of a cup or four ounces. I'm really excited about it. It has nice, clean ingredients. And then I also picked up my good culture, low-fat cottage cheese, much more affordable at my Kroger store, but since I shopped at Walmart and my Walmart does not carry good culture, I went ahead and got it at Sprouts. I also, for time saving, grabbed some pre-cut up, organic butternut squash. This is for a recipe, my lunch at meal prep, actually. And then I got some sweet potatoes cut up and ready to go. Again, I just want to make my life easy. I'm thinking an easy lunch would be a veggie, the sweet potatoes, and some chicken. So I picked those up. I also grabbed some romaine lettuce. I need this for my lunch meal prep and then just for salads. Their raspberries and blackberries are currently buy one, get one half off. So I grabbed two blackberries, two raspberries for fruits for the week. These are beets. I love beets. And I need them for my lunch meal prep. And then I did pick up one lone Fuji apple for a recipe. So that's everything from Sprouts. Let's jump into Walmart. I do have two Gatorades and one 24 pack of Diet Coke in the garage that Troy's putting away. I also got him some barbecue chips. And I got him some regular lays. I wanted the big family size bag, but they didn't have it. So I got two small bags. Troy's been begging for chips and dips. So I grabbed some wavy lays. I also got him some peanut butter cookies. These were $2.98, which is a really, really good deal and they're really good. Walmart's bakery items are actually really delicious. So I picked those up. And then I'm making a cheesecake dessert and meal prep. You guys will see what's on the menu for meal prep at the end of the video after the grocery haul. But I needed some cherry pie filling for that. So I did pick up the no sugar added. Honestly, there's no difference to me. I like it just as much. Save yourself the points, calories and macros. I also needed some beef broth for a recipe. And then of course, two gallons of skim milk for Troy. He wanted sloppy joes tonight. So I grabbed some hamburger buns for that. Couple of non-food things. I did pick up this bio oil for my scars. I've been putting a frankincense oil on my scars since my plastic surgery and I'm out. So I decided I would try this one. It had really good reviews, we'll try it. And then I needed some command hooks for holiday decorating. Troy asked for the Daisy French onion dip. So if you guys remember in a grocery haul a while ago, I was at Kroger or my fry store and the Daisy rep gave me coupons for free dip. Troy loved the French onion. He liked the ranch, but he said the French onion is amazing. So I picked him up a dip for his chips. I got a lot of cream cheese because I actually need cream cheese for a couple recipes. So I have three packs of the Philadelphia 1-3 less fat. We have some other milks here. So I did pick up one of the Fair Life strawberries. So I have heard about this. I have not been able to find the big container, but I wanted to try this in my protein shake or even in protein pudding. And then I did grab my Fair Life chocolate and my Fair Life regular milk. I'm out of everything. I have that eggnog protein shake recipe. I'm really excited about it. Stay tuned, I'll be sharing it with you. And then I grabbed some heavy whipping cream for a recipe and I do like to make my own cold foam at home and that requires heavy whipping cream. Troy wanted tortillas. So I got the big, huge burrito-sized tortillas. I am planning a Sam's Club run probably in the next couple of weeks. My mom actually flies in today and she's staying with us for a few days. So I'll probably go after she leaves and he loves tortillas. He makes quesadillas, wraps, tacos, he spreads peanut butter on them, he goes through a lot of tortillas. So I picked those up and then I did get him another veggie tray. You guys know he's been loving his veggie tray and listen, whatever he has to do to get in his veggies, I'm here for it. So I grabbed him a veggie tray. I picked myself up two packs of simply potatoes. I've been wanting to make a scramble with chicken sausage and eggs and potatoes. And these are just really easy. I like them better than frozen potatoes. So I have the shredded hash browns and I have the diced onions, or I'm sorry, diced potato with onions. And then Troy asked for frozen hash browns with onions and peppers. He really likes those. So lots of potatoes. He also asked for Canadian bacon so he can make breakfast sandwiches. And then I did grab one more bag of reduced fat fiesta blend cheese. And last but not least, from Walmart besides the Diet Coke and Gatorade, I picked up some mini cucumbers, you already know. We love them. And I thought that Troy could also use those with his dip in his veggie tray. So that is everything that I picked up for the week from both my local Walmart and Sprouts. So I didn't write out my recipes for the week just because I made a quick fast grocery list. But this is the no-bake cherry cheesecake bars that I'm going to make for my meal prep dessert. Troy's very excited for those. And then I'm doing one-pack taco spaghetti. You guys will see this in Wednesdays, what I eat in a day video. And then the rest of my meal prep is going to be harvest quinoa salad with pumpkin yogurt dressing. Super excited for that. And then I'm doing a creamy pumpkin steel cut oats. Stay tuned for all three of these recipes. In Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for this week's grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything I picked up from Sprouts and Walmart. Don't forget to check out Phi2.
