Happy Thanksgiving week!! This shopping trip is a little different because we’ll be out of town Wednesday through Sunday. I bought a couple things to feed us the next couple days, but also got a bunch of stuff to last us through most of the trip.
I’m super excited because we’ll be staying in a house with a total of 9 people- 5 of them kids- so I’m bringing plenty of snacks. Don’t panic if you don’t see a lot of “healthy” foods! My goal is to bring what I can from home and buy the rest later.
Lunches will include lots of sandwiches, like PB&J and ham. I plan to hit up our bread outlet store on Tuesday to get a bunch of 50-cent bread loaves! If you don’t follow me on Instagram, make sure you do so because I’ll post Stories of my haul and other highlights of our road trip adventures!
