So we're starting out this massive haul with Costco. So I did my Costco stock up. It has been a couple of months and I needed quite a few things. I will have to go to Sam's Club in the next few weeks as well, but here is what I picked up from Costco. First thing is the trash bags. We really like these scented ones. They smell really, really good. You can't beat the price of household things at Costco. It is our go-to for trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, all of the above. I also got my makeup remover wipes. I love these. I buy these every time I go to Costco. I use these when I do swatches for my beauty channel or if I need to take makeup off, these are fantastic. I like them because they're really wet. So there's a good amount of product in there. And then I have been loving canned green beans. I don't know, I'm on a green bean kick and this is only $10. So I thought that is an amazing, amazing deal. I've been eating green beans pretty regularly. Also, I wanted to pick up some almonds for a good healthy, fat fiber protein snack. This was $8.50 for this huge bag of dry roasted almonds. This was new to me. There were two different ones. There was one that had sweet potatoes and cranberries and pecans. And then there was this Tuscan vegetables. This is carrots, butternut squash, red onion, Brussels sprouts, red peppers, kale and cannellini beans, perfectly roasted with olive oil and herbs. It sounds really, really good. Nice clean ingredients, fully cooked. You can throw it in the air fryer in a skillet. I thought it would make a really good dinner side. And then this is something I always pick up. It was actually on coupon for $7.50 for two, which is an incredible deal. Troy eats a lot of pepperoni. He makes a lot of pepperoni wraps and little pizzas and quesadillas. So I grabbed the two-pack. And then I really like this cheese, this four different kinds of cheese, also less than $9 and there's 40 slices, Swiss, Kobe Jack, cheddar and Monterey Jack. This is the dishwasher detergent that we use. It's my favorite. It's very effective in cleaning your dishes. And this is the gel from Cascade. This is one of Troy's favorite things in the whole world. I think it's disgusting, but he loves it. This is the four bean salad, $9 for two jars. So I actually got him four jars. I know. I know it's early for Christmas, but listen, this was $9.99 for four Christmas soaps and yummy Christmas scent. There's holly berry, spiced orange, balsamper and vanilla cinnamon. And I love the old school, old world Christmas design. Can you guys do a Palmer, a little turd? Anyways, I got those. I'm just gonna put them away for Christmas. Mouthwash because we were completely out. I bought the Kroger brand of mouthwash. Do not love. So I was very excited to get my Listerine. And then you guys know I made those canned chicken nuggets. They were fantastic. I'm literally obsessed with them. Why are you whining? There is nothing for you. No, there's not. I'll give you something when I'm done. And you too, Nuggy, okay? So back to our regular schedule program. I bought a six pack of canned chicken breasts because I need to make those again. And you can also make pizza crust out of canned chicken. So I'm excited to try a few new recipes. And then this is Troy's favorite bread. I also like this bread as well. It has quinoa, spelt, rye, millet and barley, but it's a white bread. So he doesn't know that there's all these healthy things in there. He just thinks it's a white bread. It's 110 calories of slice. It has two grams of fiber and three grams of protein and 10 grams of whole grains. I don't eat a ton of bread, but I will eat this one just because it's a nice clean ingredient option. Tylenol was on sale and we were just about out, so I picked up a refill. And then I'm going to start taking vitamin C as we move into the colder months. And the chewable vitamin C was also on coupon. You already know. Chobani zero sugar yogurt, my all time favorite. So I picked that up. This is the big 16 pack. I eat yogurt every single day. And this is just a much more affordable option. I also got the organic Greek plain non-fat yogurt as well, because I've been liking mixing protein powder in with yogurt and making kind of a mousse-like consistency packed with protein. And this is five dollars. Such a fantastic deal. And then I was almost out of minced garlic. I went through a huge one of these from Sam's Club in just a few months. So I restocked that. It was also on coupon. And then for marinara, I was going to get rayos, but they had the Kirkland brand organic marinara. It's only 70 calories is serving. So less calories than rayos. Still has two grams of protein, nice clean ingredients and it's organic. So I thought that was a better deal. I want to say it was 10 or $11, which is about half the price of rayos. I got a veggie tray per Troy's request. He said he's been eating a lot of veggies and dip at night. 11.99 and it comes with the dip. So I grabbed that. I decided to pick up the lacking cow light cheese wedges. These were I think six or $7 for four. Yeah, four packs, which is a really, really good deal. I've been trying to watch my fat a little bit more. And this is really good spread on crackers. I really like this when I make a snack plate to put with crackers and cheese. So I picked that up. And then we were completely out of Troy's peanut butter. I prefer Jiff. I think, I don't think he cares either way, but they only had Skippy. So I grabbed the two pack. I found these oatmeal and pumpkin dog treats. These have nice clean ingredients. So I grabbed those. And then we were out of a sandwich size and gallon size Ziploc bags. And this variety pack was just a better deal overall because you receive all four sizes of Ziploc. I got the dogs, another one of their eight in one multi-benefit soft chew supplements. We're almost out of the bag that we have. Peaches because we love peaches. And this was $8, which is a excellent deal. And then I was shocked at the price of raspberries, $2.99. I saw them for $7 at Walmart. So that's a great deal. So I picked up two. So that is everything from Costco. Let's go ahead and jump into the rest of the haul. Oh, I did get a case of water as well. So here is the rest of this week's grocery haul from my fry store, which is a Kroger store. First up is ricotta cheese. We are doing a meal train for our boot camp instructor. She just has a lot going on right now. So a bunch of us signed up to bring her family meals. And I'm going to make her a big pan of lasagna. So I picked up some ricotta cheese for that. Some little mini Danish's, pastries, whatever these are. These were $1.25, I think, for cherry. These are really good. They're just a nice little sweet treat. I also got some paper plates because I had a coupon and we need paper plates. Lots of cheese. I did grab some light shredded mozzarella and light Mexican blend. And then whole milk mozzarella. This is for the lasagna. And then I figured if I needed more mozzarella, I could use the reduced fat. And then the reduced fat is for us, along with the light Mexican blend. I did get some Italian sweet cream, creamer. I swear I got the zero sugar and I didn't, I just got the regular, which is fine. I mean, the ingredients aren't good in either the regular or the zero sugar, but they're definitely better in the regular. So I'm going to go ahead and just deal with the regular rather than the zero sugar. And then I needed some beef broth for a recipe. So I opted for bone broth just for the extra protein. We are going to a Halloween party tonight, actually. And I'm going to make some Halloween brownies. So I picked up this kit because it has the brownie mix and the frosting. So it's just a lot easier. I'm going to add some pumpkin to this and a few other fun ingredients to jazz it up, but I'm going to bring some brownies to the party. And then if you guys remember, I got this before I went to California and it was like $7 or something for the mix. And I said it was really good, just really expensive. Well, I found it on clearance for 325. So I grabbed it again. It is really good. And I'm planning on taking this with me when I go to Texas in just a couple of days. So I'm going to bring that along as a trail mix. And then I did get some oven-ready lasagna noodles, of course, for the lasagna. And I needed apple cider for a recipe. I'm making donuts in my meal prep and then whatever's left over, Troy can just drink as apple juice. I did grab a two pound pack of 93% ground beef because it was on sale for $9.74. I either cook it right away or throw it in the freezer. So getting reduced meat, in my opinion, is such a great deal. And Kroger stores really have the best reduced meat section. So I picked that up. Speaking of reduced, they have these eggs for $2.69. I am waiting on the lady in our community that has chickens for farm fresh eggs, but until she has enough for us, we usually order three dozen at a time. I do need these for my meal prep and then also for a few other recipes. They have their cans of soup. If you buy five, they were $1.50 a piece. And Troy likes to have soup and sandwiches. And especially with me being gone this next week, this will be really easy for him to have for lunch or dinner. So I have a hearty chicken and rotini, a tomato basil, that way he can do tomato soup and grilled cheese. This one sounds good. This is beef pot roast with country veggies. And then I did grab just a traditional chicken noodle. And then lastly, a clam chowder. I needed a can of rotel for a recipe and then also pumpkin for the brownies and for my meal prep. Can pumpkin right now is $1.50 at Kroger, which is a great deal. And then I did grab Troy a can of chili. We've never tried this brand, Denison's, but it was on sale for $1.99. So I picked one up, thought he could try it if he likes it, I'll buy some more this next week. I did get two gallons of skim milk for him. And then just a little bit of produce. Most of my produce came from Costco. He loved the veggie tray that I got at Costco. He's already gone, so he asked for another one. It's a great way for him to get in vegetables and then it comes with the ranch, the Hidden Valley Ranch dip. And I want to say it was $9.99. So really, really good deal. I did also pick up some bananas. I want to be able to have bananas as a fruit this next week. And I love a banana sliced up on peanut butter on a rice cake, one of my favorite snacks. So I grabbed some bananas. I am using spaghetti squash in my lunch meal prep. And then I grabbed some more avocados. I've been really trying to eat avocado every day. So I picked up another bag of avocados. I did also grab two packs of Gatorade Zero, three packs of Diet Coke for Troy, and that is this week's haul. So let's go ahead and jump into what's for dinner and what you'll see in meal prep. Here's what is on my menu for this week. So today, Saturday, we actually are going to a Halloween party, but I just put it as out to dinner. Tomorrow, I'm going to make sloppy joes. Monday, I'm doing a one-pot taco spaghetti. Tuesday, I'm doing crock-pot potato soup. I reverse these because I actually leave Wednesday for Texas, so I'm gonna have several days of leftovers. I'm going to make a few things in advance. The crock-pot potato soup and the one-pot taco spaghetti for Troy so that he has some dinners and lunches while I'm gone. I'm going to be meal prepping on Monday because like I said, I'll leave everything for him. He'll eat it while I'm traveling. So I'm going to make some pumpkin bread. I'm really excited for that. For lunch, I'm doing a chicken bacon ranch spaghetti squash. Also excited for that. And then I'm going to do baked apple cider donut. Also excited. It's going to be a really good meal prep, so definitely subscribe and stay tuned for Monday. Thank you for joining me for this week's massive grocery haul. We are all stucked up. We are good to go. I am going to have to do a Sam's Club run probably in the next few weeks.
