My freezer is full of frozen vegetables, and it was just the highlight of my weekend. I only buy bags of frozen vegetables when they’re $1.00; and since Meijer had their 10 for $10 sale… well, I was up on my tiptoes trying to grab the last bags of broccoli. These veggies are great to have in stock for a quick side item; just toss them into a container and microwave them for a few minutes!

Another favorite: RXBars. These bars are regularly $1.99, which I’d NEVER pay full price for. But they were BOGO free at Meijer this weekend, and so I bought 6 because that’s all I had room for in the budget. However, a coupon printed out for $5.00 off 10, so I’m holding onto it for another good sale!

My parents took us to Costco on Saturday for the first time, and I think I’m in love. I really could have gone crazy in there, but luckily I stopped while I was ahead. It has a lot of the stuff Sam’s Club has, but definitely leans more toward the natural/organic side. My parents bought Allison this cereal among a couple other things… she was sold as soon as she saw the unicorn. And needless to say, she (and I) will be eating this for the next few weeks!

Here’s the rest of what I bought this week:
