What a great Labor Day weekend! We’re back to normal tomorrow, but we’ve enjoyed having some time to relax, go to Kings Island, and today we’re grilling out.
The only thing I bought this week to stock up was blueberries. I’ve found that frozen blueberries are amazing in yogurt with these Belvita biscuits you’ll see below. I guess you could say this breakfast is my new addiction. I’m super excited for shopping this coming up weekend though, because take a look at what’s on sale next week at Meijer:
- Chocolate chips: $.99
- Goldfish crackers: $.89! I may buy a few to donate to Allison’s preschool.
- Frozen vegetables: $1.00. FINALLY! And I’m going earlier in the morning, because the last two times I’ve tried to buy frozen veggies, they’ve all been sold out. Seriously. Someone’s out to get me.
I may try to eat out of our pantry next week so I can buy like a year’s supply of frozen vegetables. It’s nice to be able to just throw a bag in the microwave and have actual veggies ready in less than 10 minutes. Here’s everything I bought this week:
