Yesterday we went shopping, like we usually do, once a month....this time we decided to do it at the end of January instead of early February--just how the schedule worked out this time.
I went with my mom, and my son, Eli.
First we went to WinCo (I know a lot of other places don't have this, unfortunately)
Here I got a lot of the essentials.....
Got some cheese, deli meat, hot dogs, steak, ground beef, liver, philly cheese steak meat, turkey bacon, and diced ham. Also got some meat sticks....guess they are like jerky but would not really categorize them as such. Oh, also picked up some Wings, so going to make them soon.
I picked up some more "low carb" tortillas. I know they are not technically "Keto" but I am not doing that necessarily since I do allow those.
I got some frozen blueberries for my smoothies
Got some frozen dinners for my husband,
and some drinks and fruit snacks for my son.
Then we went to Target. I just got a movie there, Boss Baby to add to our collection. We love watching movies.
Finally, we went to Wal-Mart
At Wal-mart, I did pick up some spinach, and then a mix of spinach, kale, and swiss chard. That will be about 3 to 4 days of smoothies...then I will pick some more up at the local grocery store.
I got some butter, and heavy whipping cream, as well as sour cream.
I also got more pizza sauce, and some parmesan cheese...hmm low carb chicken nuggets and fried mozzarella cheese sticks coming up soon :)
I also got a dress, and picked up a copy of the movie Downsizing since it was pretty cheap.
From Wal-Mart's website, we ordered a 8 in 1 air fryer. It was half off the original price so got a great deal on it! It has a dehydrating function, so I can make my own jerky :)
Got a lot of low carb items, and the things I need to start having my green smoothies. Our freezer is well stocked, so that is a great thing.
Do you like to do one big shopping trip...or just go whenever you need to?

We go at the first of the month to get a few things that will stretch out.

Haha, and in the summer we usually go to an extra store....we only go to three right now because it gets dark earlier.
Had my first smoothie today, it was okay lol.
Sorry to hear that you don't have WinCo....not sure if they are just on this side of the states or what.
That's good to go at the beginning and get things that will stretch out....can be hard on a tight budget

@hillhjill Haha, usually just one extra store....but still lol. Maybe like K-Mart haha, or Shopko.
The smoothie was pretty sweet tasting with what I added, tomorrow may add protein powder.
Yeah, the end of the month would be very rough, I do understand that...except this month of
course since we got the food stamps early.

We did some of our major shopping the other night at Winco. We Love it there, and usually do most of our major shopping there. Not fond of Green Smoothies, but do prefer homemade Fruit ones

That's good that you get to shop at Winco and love it there! I do like it but ours is 45 miles away so we only do that once a month. That's good that you enjoy fruit smoothies...I don't necessarily enjoy green smoothies, but it's the only way I can get some vegetables in....least for now.
