Happy_Monday,_friends!

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! I splurged and bought fresh flowers for the house yesterday with the hope of them kicking off a fabulous week””so far, so good!

This week’s grocery shopping was all over the place: Stop & Shop, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Walmart. Of course, I love to find good deals on groceries, but I’m not someone who will drive all over creation to get them. Usually, I hit up one or two different stores each week””even if I don’t get the best deals. I’d rather save time than money. Anyway, there were specific food items I needed for meals and various recipe development projects I’m working on, so I found myself driving all over the South Shore this week. It definitely took more time, money, and energy to shop at multiple stores, so I made sure to stock up on some of my favorite items while there.

Without further ado, here are this week’s meal plan and shopping lists:

Stop & Shop

  • Italian chicken sausage
  • Bacon
  • Bananas
  • Red onion
  • Blueberries
  • Spinach
  • Baby carrots
  • Zucchini
  • Summer squash
  • Eggs
  • Maple syrup
  • Lemon juice
  • Vanilla Chex
  • Silk Pure Almond Original
  • Silk Pure Almond Vanilla
  • Almond butter

Walmart

  • Trail mix <— it’s the same stuff they sell at Stop & Shop, Target, etc., but it’s so much cheaper. These huge bags were just $5!

Whole Foods

  • Coleslaw
  • Boston lettuce <— the best for lettuce wraps
  • Sea scallops

Trader Joe’s

  • Sweet potato tots
  • Shaved Brussels sprouts
  • Chocolate chips
  • Almond meal
  • Almond butter <— half the price compared to Whole Foods or Stop & Shop
  • Applesauce
  • Honey
  • Dill

I know I’ve mentioned this at least a half dozen times on CNC already, but, hey, it’s important: Trader Joe’s sells almond meal at a really affordable price. It’s literally three times the price at other grocery stores!

FYI: Almond flour and almond meal are pretty much the same thing. Almond meal is a little courser, so it works well for things like breading chicken or veggies. Almond flour is ground more finely, so I know a lot of bakers love using it. Personally, I love almond meal for baking. I actually really like it’s texture (thick and hearty) in cookies, muffins, and pizza dough.
