I’m not doing a full grocery shopping today because I’m visiting Wegmans tomorrow. There’s a new store in Massachusetts, so a few of my CrossFit friends and I are going to check it out after class tomorrow. I’ve heard Wegmans is one of the best grocery store chains in the country, so I’m excited to [...]

Welcome to Frozen Food Week on CNC!! I’m always looking for ways to save money at the grocery store, so I decided to challenge myself by using more frozen foods (which tend to be cheaper than the perishable stuff) in our meals this week. I purchased some bagged frozen vegetables and plan to use up [...]

I did my grocery shopping at Fresh Market this week, and I must say: What an awesome supermarket. Here’s just a few reasons why: it’s absolutely gorgeous inside (beautiful hardwood floors), it smells delicious (like freshly baked bread yesterday), the employees are super friendly, there’s a candy department and rows and rows of bulk bins [...]

We ended up having a lot of food leftover from my previous grocery shopping, so I bumped a couple of the meals to this week, which made planning a piece of cake this week! Here’s this week’s meal plan: Sunday: Drinks and appetizers at friend’s house Monday: Spaghetti squash with Bolognese sauce <—recipe from Practical Paleo Tuesday: Gingery [...]

Happy Christmas Eve eve! I’m getting so excited for the Christmas fun to begin! I hope you are too! Even though it’s a short week (meal planning-wise), Mal and I still managed to spend quite a bit of money at the grocery store. I thought for sure we’d come in under-budget this week, but I [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Friday! I ended up doing my grocery shopping this morning because 1) we had no food in the house and 2) we’re having friends over for a game night tomorrow night, so I wanted to make sure we had some snacks to share. Here’s this week’s meal plan: Sunday: Family party – [...]

I’m a crazy person and went grocery shopping at 7:00 AM this morning. (I know. I have issues.) Mal and I forgot to shut off the heat off last night before we went to bed, so I woke up at 6:15, super hot and wide awake. I tried to fall back asleep, but as soon [...]

For the first time in months, our weekly grocery shopping came in under budget! Woohoo! Coupons and in-store sales helped, but the main reason for coming in under budget was because we didn’t need to buy as much meat— thanks to the 25-pounds of grass-fed beef in our freezer! Right after I published my Grocery [...]

Hi, friends! Happy Sunday! I did all of my meal planning like I normally do for my shopping this week, but then I forgot my grocery list at home. Doh! I wasn’t about to drive home to get it, so I did my best to remember the meals (and their ingredients) I had planned for [...]

Hi, friends! I hope you’re enjoying a fabulous Saturday! I did our grocery shopping for the week yesterday afternoon since we were pretty much out of food. Mal and I can rarely make it a full week—it’s more like 5 or 6 days—before our fridge is empty. I know I should just buy more food, [...]
