I've said it once and I'll say it again: If grocery shopping was in the Olympics, I'd take Gold! (Fine, maybe Bronze.)
Hi!! Welcome back to my channel :)
I've been planning out my weekly menu since college and it's truly a productivity hack! It really helps me stay on schedule throughout the workweek, and helps me stay on budget! In college, I would go grocery shopping at Aldis and keep my whole list around $30/week. Now, grocery shopping for two costs around $150/week. We do prioritize organic product/grass-fed meats which inflates that cost.
Our go-to grocery stores are Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Mom's Organic Market, and Thrive Market! I share more weekly grocery shopping hauls and meal content on TikTok/Instagram stories and try my best to keep everything organized in highlights if you're needing menu inspo.
Overall, here are all of my tips:
- Build meals around ingredients you already have on hand, and buy your staples in bulk if you can!
- Pinpoint the days you'll be extra busy and need fast meals.
- Only choose recipes that you're excited to make.
- Pay attention to expiration dates and make sure things will last until they're needed.
- Keep a stricter budget by planning meals around what's on sale.
- Find recipes with overlapping ingredients so you’re not buying obscure ingredients for a single meal.
- Use leftovers in a different way: leftover chicken from dinner can be added to a Caesar salad for lunch the next day.
