Hey friend! Today, I'm showing you my $50 Trader Joe's grocery haul on a budget that fed my family of 3 for an entire week. I hope this video gives you some Trader Joe's meals ideas that you can make for you and your family. I love doing extreme grocery budget challenges to see how inexpensively I can feed my family of 3. Thanks for being here friend!

Their mango jicama slaw is awesome! We had it with salmon, but I think it would be great on fish tacos. And yes, we always eat leftovers from dinner at lunch time. 😎

I LOVE Trader Joe’s! One of my go-to’s for quick meal prep on busy nights is their frozen organic brown rice. It’s fully cooked; you just pop it into the microwave for 3 minutes. The flavor and texture is really good.

Oooo I’ll have to get some of those next time I go!

I'm gonna have to try shopping at the Trader Joe's near us, the closest one is in Tulsa, about 30 minutes away. I never go there because I've heard it was so expensive but you got quite a bit of food for that $50.00!! Hope your sweet baby girl had a wonderful birthday 🎉!!

You’ll have to let me know if you make the trip out there! Thank you! Baby girl had a great birthday 🥳

My favorites to get is the plantain chips and the chocolate hummus 🤤🤤🤤 The other day one of my friends said we need to go to TJ after work one of these days. It’s been some time since my last time there.

If honey works the next day, he will take a serving for lunch. If there is still some things left, I recreate for another meal or put in the soup container.

So smart! My husband and I both work from home, so we have leftovers for lunch quite often.

Love Trader Joe’s! Do you have an Aldi close by? We start our shop there and then go to other stores for anything on our list that Aldi doesn’t stock.

@FrugalLifeThriftyWife Жыл бұрын

We don’t have an ALDI near by 😢. I really wish we did. I definitely miss shopping there!

I love their fried rice. But I have found it is much cheaper to just buy the vegetable fried rice and add your chicken. I bought the shrimp once; I had to end up adding more shrimp

@FrugalLifeThriftyWife Жыл бұрын

I almost bought the regular fried rice and then added chicken, but I didn’t have enough in the budget to get the extra chicken. I’ll have to do that next time 😊.

In my Trader Joe’s bag, I have their protein bars, seasonal fruit, flour tortillas, sweet butter lettuce, mini peppers, Persian cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, ground chicken, chicken sausage, frozen mandarin chicken, frozen pizza, pasta, tomato sauce, refried beans, ginger brew, this (insert fruit) walks into a bar bars, Brie bites, 1000 day Gouda, unexpected cheddar, a carton of tomato soup, a package of ravioli, and a bag of baby spinach.

what state do you live in? I've only gotten sunscreen from trader joes and haven't checked out their prices for food. I live in Boston so if could spend only $50 on myself id be super happy considering Boston is super expensive.

That’s awesome! I definitely think I’ll be shopping at Trader Joe’s more often in the future because their prices really aren’t that high for things 😊

There are NO vegetables or fresh produce in this weekly menu planner. 1 piece of fruit for breakfast.......nutrtionally inadequate - just meat and refined carbs

Hi Colleen, I’m not sure if you watched the whole video, but we did have a salad for dinner one night and many of the other dinners had veggies as part of the sauce or meal that was prepared. This isn’t also what we always eat, but if you’re on a tight budget and can only shop at Trader Joe’s I hope it gives you some ideas of things you could buy. Hope you have a great day!
