This Week's Grocery Trip

Here are the dinners I planned for this week, the list of food I need for the week, and the cost of the food I bought.  I usually do 7 dinners, but this week I did 8 because I was shopping a day early and we were pretty cleaned out of food.  I also bought more fruit than usual because I'm on my newest health kick and I got extra chicken and veggies because I am going to start making my lunches for work rather than eating the prepackaged crap.  

I do my shopping at 2 different stores.  I always go to Aldi first and get everything on my list that I possibly can there, then I finish up at Food Lion.  I don’t generally get meat at Aldi, meat is about the only thing I don’t like their prices on.

I have divided the shopping list up by store.
