This week’s recap

In case you missed it, this past week I did another one of my highly requested grocery series editions where I took a $60 grocery haul and turned it into five different recipes that each made four servings.

I absolutely love putting these series together and it always brings me so much joy seeing you all grab the grocery list and follow along. If you’re someone who tried the recipes or tagged me this week over on Instagram this week, I appreciate you!

Below if a full recap of the entire series so you can access everything in one place. These series also live over on the budget grocery series section of my website, so you can always get what you need there too!

I had a lot of discussions this week about why I chose to shop at Whole Foods this time. Basically, I just wanted to prove that you can even shop on a budget at a store that’s known to be more expensive. Now that I’ve had a lot of people shop the list, I know for sure you can get the list for $40-$50 at other stores!
