What up friends! Another week down the hatch. Last week was definitely more chill in the Undomestic Mom household than it’s been all summer. We were able to cross a few things off of our Summer Bucket List, most notably taking the girls on their first train ride. I was also able to get the meal plan made on time and get the LIVE grocery haul done on Facebook.
Facebook LIVE Grocery Haul
In case you missed it, here’s our weekly haul. I mention that I grabbed some more reusable pouches from Amazon because two of our have walked off:/ But at $6 for 3, I’m not crying over them. I do save the tops from store bought pouches, which I buy every once in a while to keep in the diaper bag because they are shelf-stable because you only get one cap per pouch. Which of you’re anything like me, you’ll need a few spares. Luckily all the tops are universal!
The Plan
Sunday: Corn Chowder & Bread
Monday: Chicken Pasta & Salad
Tuesday: Waffles, Bacon & Fruit Salad
Wednesday: Chicken Burrito Bowls
Thursday: Slow Cooker Chicken Chili & Corn Bread
Friday: Chicken Caesar Wraps & Chips
Saturday: Frozen Pizza
What I Spent:
I spent $146.28 on my Sunday trip to Aldi. We are currently budgeting $178/week for our family of four but as you guys see, we eat almost all of our meals at home.
However, I do spend more throughout the month at Target, Costco and Walgreens buying our household necessities so that’s why you’ll rarely see me spend the full $178 at Aldi.
From my research, most families of four typically spend between $146-289/week so we’re definitely at the low end! We shop primarily at Aldi and I highly recommend it if you’re grocery shopping on a budget.
Last Week Recap:
We had the steak/mashed potatoes/grilled veggies, Crockpot Chicken & Rice (recipe coming soon!), Shepherd’s Pie and Chicken Gnocchi Soup.
The corn chowder made it onto next week’s menu and the stromboli didn’t come together. We had delicious deep dish pizza at a friend’s house instead and I totally forgot to snap a pic.
That’s all I have for this week! Check out last week’s MPM if you missed it! Come follow me on Facebook to keep up to date with my LIVE grocery hauls and my weekly #undomesticmomhacks
