Welcome to my latest grocery haul video! We have grown to a family of 13, and the weeks roll round quickly when it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping around here!
This week we shopped at both Costco and Woolworths online or our family of thirteen. We have 11 children, and our eldest daughter is turning 18 next week, so this haul includes some items for her birthday celebrations.
The total cost for these shops were as follows:
Costco: $499 (plus dinner - we shopped in the evening, with kids, so Costco pizza and hotdogs it was).
Woolworths: $964
Due to the birthday, I have spent more than usual. I will also have to do a small fill-in shop for things like milk, bread, fruit (and the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit that I had forgotten about!).
Two Week Meal Plan (in no particular order):
- Chinese Pulled Pork, Broccoli & Rice (was a-mazing!)
- Beef and Bean in Tortillas with Fillings (lettuce, cream cheese, salsa, avocado, cheese, etc)
- Leftover Beef and Beans, on rice (with avocado, cream cheese, olives, and cheese)
- Crumbed Fish with Potatoes and Veggies (carrot, beans, or whatever else I feel like making)
- Vegetarian Pasta ( two nights)
- Easy = 2 nights (eggs on toast, or baked beans, or toasties, or leftovers, etc....I like to leave a couple of nights open to whatever the week throws at us - often these are the nights where I'll invent a new family favourite dish).
Chicken Curry on Rice with Naan Bread and Greek Yoghurt
- Slow Cooked Lamb with Garlic Bread Bruschetta (Ava's Birthday Night)
- Party Food (Ava's Party Night)
- Spaghetti Bolognese x 2 nights
Tortellini with Vegetarian Sauce
Thank you so much for watching!
