 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here happy happy Saturday as you can see it's still dark outside because it's before 7 a.m And I am at the grocery store to do this week's grocery shopping. I have such great meals planned I cannot wait so I'm gonna get into the grocery store do my shopping because I'm going to jazz or size straight from the grocery store And then home to film this grocery haul show you my meal plan and what I have for meal prep this week So if you want to see my grocery haul meal plan meal prep and all the things just stay tuned So here's my grocery haul for this week I did just go to Fred Meyer, which is also a Kroger store and picked up all of my groceries for the week So let's jump in to this week's grocery haul. I got some more almond milk. This is my very favorite I love this coconut almond milk from Caliphia farms as far as ingredients go for almond milk This is by far the best option It has literally the best ingredients and it is the same smart points one per cup So I was completely out of almond milk So I have the Caliphia farms toasted coconut coconut almond milk yummy And then I grabbed two cans of biscuits because I actually need these for a recipe and I need 15 ounces But each can is only seven and a half ounces So I went ahead and grabbed both and then that equals the 15 ounces I needed for the recipe and these are actually lower smart points than the Pillsbury Grans So if you can find just a regular biscuit, that's gonna be your best option I grabbed the stand-in-light and fit four pack of the strawberry cheesecake because it was a dollar 29 for four Yogurt cups they do expire on the 24th of January. So it gives me plenty of time to eat those So that was a killer deal. I also got some egg whites and that way I have these on hand Sometimes I just want one full egg But I don't want to waste the eggs because the ones I buy are pretty expensive So I picked up these egg whites and this will help substitute the difference between two eggs I'll just add a little bit of the egg whites to my full egg instead I can't believe it's not butter light just to have on hand We are about out and I had a great coupon for this So I picked it up and speaking of eggs These are the two eggs that I really really like these vital farms pasture raised eggs were on sale for 499 a dozen Which is a great deal because they're normally 799 a dozen So I picked up that and then you know, I love my happy eggs I actually like these more than these and they're less expensive generally But they were the same price because the vital farms was on sale So 499 a dozen for each of these eggs Roast beef from the deli for my husband for his lunch But I wanted to show it to you guys because we can certainly have roast beef We just have to work the little bit of smart points that it has into our day I grabbed some hummus for some reason. I was really craving hummus. So I grabbed this hope hummus. It's organic It's kale and pesto. Oh my gosh, it looks so good. Look at that. Yum I love pesto anything and I thought we could get an extra dose of veggies in with the kale That was a win-win also quite a bit of canned goods. I have some tomato sauce here for a recipe Pumpkin for a recipe diced tomatoes and then two cans of pinto beans for a recipe I grabbed another package of the Jimmy Dean fully cooked turkey sausage crumbles I love these and I need these for an upcoming dinner recipe This is a great substitution for any recipe that calls for sausage Because you can have an entire half of a cup for two smart points This is also a fantastic thing to put on pizza save you a lot of calories But you can still get that sausage on your pizza and then of course two cans of my fat free ready whip I was out. I've been going through a couple cans a week now. I know it's ridiculous But it's delicious and it's zero smart point. So picked up two cans of that a box of chicken broth This is for an upcoming dinner recipe and I had a coupon for the simple truth organic brand I also needed some vanilla and I have not made a trip to Trader Joe's Which actually has my favorite vanilla the bourbon vanilla, but I grabbed this it was on sale for 799 for two ounces So I'll have some vanilla extract This was the free Friday download at Fred Meyer every week They do a free Friday download where you get something for free and normally it's junk It's candy usually but this week it was the simple truth roasted and salted pistachios And I looked at this and it is only a hundred calories for the pack and I thought that's a pretty good deal So I think it's four points, but I'll put it on the screen So I'm excited to have this this is a great snack and it is only a hundred calories and it was free So you can't beat that. I also grabbed some pad Thai noodles I was actually looking for yaka soba and my store didn't have any so pad Thai it is and this is for an upcoming recipe. I also needed some packaged mixes I needed gravy and I couldn't remember if I was supposed to buy brown gravy chicken gravy white gravy I couldn't remember so I went ahead and grab a brown and a chicken that way I'm covered with whatever gravy I need for that recipe and then also a package of chili mix This is for a dinner recipe and just so you guys know I do not count points for my seasoning packets If you want to count points that's entirely up to you, but I do not count points for any type of seasoning Then I hit up my bulk section because I needed half of a teaspoon of fennel seeds and you guys know I'm a big advocate for using your bulk section rather than buying a full-size spice of something that you're never gonna use again So I grabbed about a teaspoon just to be safe of fennel seed cost me 17 cents And then I also needed about a cup of almond flour and I decided just to go to the bulk section now This is one thing I probably would buy elsewhere because this little bag of almond flour cost me about 550 And I don't know what normal price of almond flour is in the prepackage, but I don't use it very often anyway So I'm not sure if that was a good deal or not. Let me know down in the comments if you are someone that buys almond flour I know Costco has a great price But I would never buy it there because I don't use it very often some diced ham This is for an upcoming recipe you guys. This is super low points So this is great to throw in omelettes again You can even throw this on pizza Anything that you want a dice to meet for this is a great option and again really low in points And then I grabbed these these were on sale for 250 normally 450 and I got these for This because I thought how good of a combo will that be so these little mini non-breads They're super duper cute so I went ahead and grabbed those and I'm gonna dip those in that hummus I can't wait for that. I also grabbed some light mayo Because I was completely out and craft is my favorite and then some yellow corn meal This is for an upcoming recipe and this is great to have on hand because you can make a really low Smartpoint cornbread so highly recommend just having this on hand in your cupboard or in your pantry Chicken breast these were on sale for 499. This is a three-pound bag Not the best chicken breast as far as quality goes, but they were a stellar price So I decided to grab a bag and throw it in my freezer Also potatoes. I needed about a pound of potatoes for a recipe and I love these little baby Petite white potatoes. I seriously love them So I had to pick those up and then before we jump into veggies and fruit I did get some avocados and I wanted to show you these because they do have points and this bag of avocados was $3 so that was a good deal. They're small Which is perfect because that way they don't go bad and you can use them up So let's jump into fruits and veggies So first I got some frozen peas two bags because I needed them for a couple of upcoming recipes some stalks of celery some flat leaf Italian parsley a Green pepper and I know this is ridiculous But I have three bags of coleslaw because I need cabbage for two different recipes crazy I don't buy cabbage very often, but I need it this week for two recipes. So three bags Three bags of coleslaw and then I decided for my water I was gonna get the Meyer lemons because it says that they're tangy and sweet and this bag of five lemons was three dollars Which I thought wasn't a bad price because normal lemons those big ones are a dollar a piece And I really wanted to try these so I'm gonna use these for cooking and also for in my water So if you are a Meyer lemon fan leave that down in the comments. I just they're beautiful They're like so bright gold and yellow. So I'm very excited to try those and lastly I picked up two one-pound packages of strawberries They don't look the best But they were two for five and that is my fruit for the week along with the cuties that I had left over from last week I've also been doing a lot of protein shakes with frozen fruit So I'm not going through my fresh fruit as often because I'm using my second fruit for the day in that So that is my haul from Fred Meyer or Kroger.
