I just got back from a quick trip to visit family, and before heading out, I snagged a few great frozen deals. This week’s haul is all about getting back into routine while keeping it simple, clean, and budget-friendly.
🍽️ Grocery Haul Breakdown
Here’s what I picked up this week to keep my meals balanced and affordable:
Fresh & Frozen Produce
- Frozen Sliced Zucchini (12 oz) – $1.29
- Frozen Broccoli & Cauliflower Blend (12 oz) – $1.08
- Steamable Cauliflower Rice (12 oz) – $1.19
- Shaved Brussel Sprouts (12 oz) – $1.08
- Mini Cucumbers (Pack of 5) – $0.79
- Taylor Farms 50/50 Spring Mix – $1.88
- Organic Granny Smith Apples (2 lbs) – $2.19
- Organic Blackberries (6 oz) – $3.79
Pantry Staples & Proteins
- Dry Lentils (16 oz) – $1.16
- Chobani Greek Yogurt (32 oz) – $4.99
- Ground Turkey – $2.34
- 2 Packs of Tofu – $2.50
Frozen Convenience Meals (pre-trip deals!)
I stocked up before my family visit and these deals were chef’s kiss:
- 2 Amy’s Thai Green Curry Frozen Meals – $2.49
- 1 Amy’s Frozen Tortilla Casserole Bowl – $1.32
- 2 Amy’s Vegan Black Bean Enchiladas – $2.66
- 2 Chicken Pad Thai Frozen Meals – $2.15
🧾 Total Spent: $42.48
And let me just say—those frozen Amy’s meals were a total win. Normally $4–5 each, so scoring them for around $1.30–$2.60 was such a steal. Perfect for busy days when I need something fast but still nourishing.
💡 Budget Tip: This haul cost me just $21.24 per week, proving you don’t need to spend a fortune to eat clean, balanced, and flavorful meals.
⏳ This Haul = 2 Weeks of Meals
Between the frozen meals, fresh produce, pantry staples, and protein options, this haul is enough to last me at least two solid weeks of eating—especially since I’ll be mixing in leftovers, pantry finds, and simple throw-together bowls.
Why This Haul Works for Me
This week’s haul is a mix of:
- Convenience (frozen meals & pre-cut veggies)
- Nutrition (lean protein, fiber, and greens)
- Affordability (stayed well under $50!)
🛒 It really comes down to watching for deals! I always check grocery store flyers and apps before shopping. You’d be surprised how often frozen and organic items go on sale when you plan ahead just a little.
I’m focusing on building bowls this week—think lentils + shaved brussels + tofu + yogurt-based dressing, or turkey and cauliflower rice stir-fries. Everything is mix-and-match friendly.
