$75 Weekly Shopping and Menu 9-18-17

Meal plan, grocery list, and coupon deals for 9-18-17. Want to know what a family of 3 eats for $75 a week? Check back every Monday!

This week’s shopping trip was particularly interesting because I actually did all of it in the same day! I was able to do the two biggest trips while Allison was in school, which definitely helped with both time and sanity. Have you ever noticed how much longer it takes to shop with little helpers?

For this week, you’ll really need to look at the big picture instead of looking at one store and deciding we’re eating only junk food this week. I say this because I looked into my Kroger cart and realized it was nothing but candy and snacks. However, my Aldi cart had the rest of the missing pieces, so it all evened out! Here’s everything I bought this week:
