So we have a grocery haul a meal plan and a meal prep to go over. So let's jump in So here's this week's grocery haul what you don't see is a case of Diet Coke and Coors like for Troy Pretty usual every week, but I did find some really good deals this week and some new things I went to Walmart and to Trader Joe's So I'm going to show you the non food items first and then we'll jump in to all of the food that I picked Up for the week. I've been waiting for Bath and Body Works to have a good candle sale and they just haven't in a while So I thought that while I was at Walmart, I would pick up a few of their candles I've heard that they have really good throw really good sense and some of these fall scents were only a dollar Per candle on the price tag it was 333, but then when I rung them up They were a dollar so I picked up quite a few of the Walmart candles mold cider Which I love anything kind of spicy and it's still winter here. It is 7 degrees today So it is perfect timing to still have some winter candles. This one rang up as a dollar apple cider Donuts this smells delicious. This one was 333 Cozy gathering this one actually rung up as a dollar as well and fall farmhouse also rung up as a dollar So you can't beat that at all this coastal coconut from great value smells incredible This one was for 97 which is still cheaper than you can get Bath and Body Works candles when they're on a really really good sale So I grabbed that I thought that I would give these a try see what I think as far as how the scent throws and lasts I couldn't pass up two dollars for this bergamot and sage These are little wax cubes for the warmers. This smells so good for 488 I picked this up based on something I saw on tiktok This is one of those pointy-tilt holders with the scarf that hangs down I thought it was really cute and for less than five dollars I thought it would be fun to wear to jazz or size or if I just put my hair up for the day It would give it that nice cute kind of fun look and Trader Joe's had their daffodils a dollar seventy nine per bunch So I went ahead and picked up two bunches I'm going to put these in a pretty vase on my island They just remind me of spring and when it's this cold. I need all the spring I can get they were a dollar seventy nine per bundle so less than four dollars for two bundles That's everything for the non-food items. So the grocery portion eggs, of course, whenever I go to Walmart I do like to get the organic pasture-raised happy eggs These are the best eggs pretty much ever and they're the most affordable at Walmart. I also stocked up on ground beef I picked up the three pack of the 937 organic grass-fed grass-finished beef. I rave about this. It's my very favorite ground beef It's so good and it's less than 18 dollars for three pounds Which is really good for organic grass-fed grass-finished and then I did pick up a couple packs of just the traditional 96% sometimes I like a leaner ground beef for a recipe if the recipe is fairly high in point So I picked up two pounds of that sourdough bread for Troy sandwiches this next week He's gonna still do the Canadian bacon and cheese We sell quite a bit of Canadian bacon because I bought that big packet Costco So he's just gonna continue with those sandwiches this next week. I did buy the savory thin Crackers from Trader Joe's. I wanted something to dip in that spinach and artichoke dip from Costco And I didn't want to do chips because they're so high in points and calories for a little amount These crackers you can have 16 of them for 130 calories and the points here on the screen So I thought these would be great to dip in that spinach and artichoke dip two bottles of kombucha I still have some leftover from last week. I did order in my thrive order as well as in perfect food So I did stock up on my kombucha, but I did pick up two of the synergy pure love winter edition 297 a bottle at Walmart, which is really the cheapest you're going to find and this blood orange hibiscus and rose one is so good I don't usually do sugar-free anything But I have been hearing more and more about these sugar-free jello cups as a great low calorie snack There are five calories per cup. I wouldn't eat them all the time because of them being sugar-free and artificially flavored But I thought on a whim if I need something sweet and don't have points or calories left I thought that this would come in handy So I did decide just to get the four pack These will probably last me quite a while because I don't see eating these on a regular basis barley for meal prep I actually wanted regular barley, but all Walmart had was quick barley and the recipe I'm making is a slow cooker recipe So I hope that the quick part of this barley doesn't impact that recipe But I even looked at Trader Joe's and they didn't have any barley at all I wanted a couple of sweet treats for the week So of course at Trader Joe's the partake cookies the birthday cake ones are still there I love these cookies three cookies 150 calories or two points per cookie, which is not bad at all And they're so good. These are also gluten-free and vegan for my gluten-free and vegan friends out there But these are delicious and like I mentioned before they're a dollar less per box and the chocolate chip ones are $1.50 less per box Than it target sliced baby Swiss for Troy sandwiches We were out of sliced cheese and I thought this would pair nicely with the Canadian bacon And then of course I picked up another bag of the Trader Joe's light shredded three cheese blend Which is my favorite light shredded cheese a little baby can of no salt added tomato sauce for a dinner recipe Fat free evaporated milk for a recipe green beans for diesel and Lola They have one can left and that doesn't usually last an entire week And I did restock my vanilla extract from Trader Joe's this one is a great price $9 for four ounces of pure vanilla extract is an excellent price I saw these at Walmart as I was walking by and I had to pick them up I have never tried the sweet and salty kettle corn pop corners I like these because there's only four ingredients So they're a pretty good option and I thought this would also cure that crunchy and sweet So let me know down in the comments if you guys have tried the kettle corn and what you thought of it Organic beef broth this is for a dinner recipe and I did want to try this like I mentioned I'm not big on sugar-free, but I have heard really good things about this creamer This is the zero sugar caramel macchiato from international delight I have to try this just to compare it to the coffee mate Italian sweet cream that sugar-free I picked up I don't like it at all. I think I've really just developed a taste to not like the sugar-free creamer But I've heard that this doesn't taste sugar-free. So I thought I would try it It's 20 calories per serving again I'll let you guys know what I think of it But my opinion on the coffee mate sugar-free is I no longer like it I did finish my container, but it's definitely definitely not my favorite sour cream because we are completely out And I wanted to have some on hand and then I did decide to go ahead and pick up a couple of the full fats to use yogurt I really like this 4% vanilla. These are really delicious. They're thick and creamy and they have excellent ingredients They are five smart points But I will take the points just because the ingredients and the fact that they're full fat So all of their nutrients are intact another sweet treat for the week chocolate chip cocoa meringues It has been a minute since I bought the meringues at Trader Joe's So I picked up the chocolate ones. I like these because they have little chocolate chips in them So they're really delicious. Three of them is 90 calories light butter for Troy This is the butter he prefers to use and this big tub is less than six dollars Which is a really good price because that little tub is generally over three dollars new from bubbly is the bubbly Bounce I don't usually buy this sparkling water because it has natural flavors, but I wanted to try it This is the grapefruit blood orange and it has caffeine in it 35 milligrams of caffeine per can no calories no sweetener So same as the regular bubbly but caffeinated and this grapefruit blood orange flavor sounds so good So I'll definitely let you guys know how I feel about this They had several flavors about five of the bubbly bounce Caffeinated water and then I did pick up some Mediterranean crumbled feta cheese. This is the full fat But I wanted the Mediterranean in it for salads. This is my cheese of choice to put on salads It's so so delicious, and I've never tried the Mediterranean one. Everything else is produce So a pack of organic blackberries. This is for meal prep lots of mushrooms I did pick up the organic full Cremini mushrooms and the sliced Cremini mushrooms I needed sliced for a recipe and then whole for a recipe Limes and lemons for my water I also need a couple of lemons for some dinner recipes and you guys know I like to put fresh lemons and limes in my water some organic gala apples This is for a recipe and then of course for snacking Celery I have been on a celery and peanut butter kick and I've been making ants on a log where I'm putting some reasons I don't know. It's bringing me back to my childhood But I've been really liking celery lately and I also need it for a couple recipes So I picked that up some frozen veggies Trader Joe's did not have a mixed vegetable Which I need for a dinner recipe So I did this soy catash and this is sweet corn edamame red bell pepper So it doesn't have carrots in it, but it's close enough to a mixed vegetable some frozen organic peas for a recipe frozen organic corn and Organic wild blueberries also for a meal prep recipe and I like these wild ones because they're small They're just the cutest little blueberries and they're super super sweets and lastly fresh parsley for a couple of recipes So that is this week's grocery haul Let's get into what I'm doing for meal prep and what's on my plan for meals for the week So here is my meal planner. I absolutely love it It has an entire year's worth of meal planning as well as a note section for your favorite recipes YouTube videos blogs I just love everything about it. So definitely pick this up before it's gone You can see there's a menu and a grocery list for every week So this is the week of 12 13 through 12 19 So Saturday, we'll do an out-to-dinner kind of fun pizza night or something like that Sunday, even though it's Valentine's Day, we're just gonna have a regular on track day my husband works Sunday So we're not gonna do anything too exciting, but we're gonna do a chicken pot pie pasta Monday is copycat Alice spring chicken. This is from Outback Steakhouse So this is a copycat recipe for that which sounds amazing Tuesday I go to Jazzercise at night. So it's a leftover night Wednesday We're doing meatballs in barbecue sauce kind of some comfort food I have a new barbecue sauce from Primal Kitchen that I want to try and then Thursday. I'm gonna do an instant pot recipe We are going to make shrimp risotto. I'm obsessed with risotto and shrimp is so low-point low-calorie That I thought it would make the perfect pairing with a more high-calorie high-point dish like risotto So I'm excited for that and then Friday will be a leftover night as well So that we can finish up all of the meals from earlier in the week And here's what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep video. So for breakfast this week. I'm making a blueberry Sweet roll. So we're making a cinnamon roll with blueberries. This is going to be so incredibly delicious We'll pair this with some protein so we have a well-rounded breakfast Lunch is slow cooker beef and barley soup That is why I needed to pick up the barley and I'm hoping that the quick barley does not affect the recipe and then for dessert I'm making an apple berry brown Betty. I love brown Betty and it has been a long time So I made this recipe into a WW and calorie-friendly recipe. So stay tuned on Monday for all three of these recipes Thank you for joining me for this week's WW grocery haul That candle price at Walmart was insane If you have a Walmart in your area grab those fall or winter scented candles before they are gone Lots of good stuff at Trader Joe's and the daffodils just bring spring into my house, which makes me so happy So if you enjoyed today's video, please don't forget to give it a big thumbs up And if you're new or you're watching and you're not subscribed join my community I'd love to have you hit the little subscribe button and the bell next to it So you're notified whenever videos are uploaded.
