welcome back to my budget grocery series!

get the grocery list & come shopping with me 🛒

In case you missed it, I’m coming back this week with a the 10th edition of my budget grocery series!!! I seriously could not be more excited, and this week we’re making recipes that will transition us from summer to fall (think bright yet cozy) and get us organized for a fresh new ✨ back-to-school ✨ energy.

In today’s video I take you grocery shopping with me and explain my thought process behind the new list + recipes, then I go through each ingredient, talk through substitution & swap options (including how to make this list 100% plant-based), and tell you about all of the meals I’ll be making this week so you know what to expect!

I’m so excited and I hope you subscribe—all of the short-form videos will be up as usual on IG & TikTok too, but the daily YouTube videos will be PACKED with info. The full grocery list is written below for you, so go grab your groceries & let’s do it!!
