Holy Impulse Buys, Batman! Weekly Grocery Haul and Menu

The things I do for really good deals!

First of all, I kind of went crazy at my grocery outlet. I like to go and see what’s new and what kind of snacks I can buy for the week… and then end up with like $20 worth of stuff we don’t even need. We’ll probably end up using it all this week anyway, but the urge to buy everything is strong.

I also bought a few things at Meijer I didn’t really need, but I was $2.10 away from reaching $20.00 at Ibotta and I saw I could take advantage of the 10 for $10 sale AND get some Ibotta rewards. I ended up getting $2.50 back and was able to redeem my money for a Sam’s Club gift card.

When I took inventory of my freezer a couple weeks ago, I remembered I had a turkey I had bought around Thanksgiving last year. In order to make room for another turkey (maybe), I decided to cook this one and eat from it throughout the week. Being a family of 3, a 12-pound turkey creates a LOT of leftovers!

If you’re more of a video person, make sure you check out my newest grocery haul video for the week too!
