This was an excellent weekend for shopping.

First of all, Mr. Mac’s Grocery Outlet the next town over is AMAZING. We went last Tuesday evening and snagged some turkey sausage and frozen veggies that I’ll use this week and next. I really wanted to buy out the entire stock, but I knew I needed to save money for, you know, actual groceries later.

However, I heard that they’re getting in a hundred or so new items this week. So as soon as I hear the word, I’m gone. And hopefully I’ll come back with some amazing stuff.

And if you ask Allison why she likes the store, she’ll tell you, “The free samples!” Because they’ll have little samples of chocolate or whatever candy they want to get rid of. Typical kid.

Anyway, Aldi was amazing this week, too! I walked in and almost all of their produce had the red reduced-price tags. Most of them were marked down by only 30 cents or so; but seeing as how I was buying them anyway, it was an added bonus!

Also, I’m excited to say that I’m starting 80 Day Obsession from Beachbody today. It’s supposed to be a fairly challenging program with weights, and I’m looking forward to getting stronger to support my running (Which I’m taking back up again this week too!!!)

There’s also a timed nutrition aspect that I’m attempting as well, which is why below you’ll see my pre-workout and post-workout meals. Maybe I’ll write a post soon about how it all works; but for now, you can at least see what I’m eating.

Here’s what we bought this week:
