✨BUDGET 💵 MEAL SERIES:Week 2 Grocery Haul

This week was easy peasy but I felt bad cheating on my Aldi… but what did I tell yall? As adults we learn to pivot and adjust and if I can help just 1 person at the grocery store save money for their family… then it was worth it❤️

I will be trying out different stores to help others far and near.. so if you don’t have this weeks store… pivot and make it work… then next week I might shop at a store that is yours!

Anywho.. I did go over because I included a few optional extras, but this week we included fruits, breakfast, lunches(as leftovers) or new meals, and dinners! But $52 dollars for a weeks worth of good eating ain’t too bad at all! Don’t include any options and you might have had a few extra dollars to spare 👏🏽

Well, continue to watch and follow along as we shop and cook together throughout week 2❤️

-Kia 💋
